Hi guys,

Quick update.

Had a chat with my Doctor a few days ago, because I was worried again and they properly explained my results in full. I was particularly worried about stuff like IgA being high, but they weren't worried about it (Apparently it is quite often that this happens alongside fatty liver). Other than that they also explained that I do have Gillbert's syndrome, but not to worry. The IgA stuff worried me because of looking it up kept pointing out MGUS (sodding google), but I got in contact to ask the British blood cancer trust support to see whether I should be worried. They said the most likely thing it could have been is an infection or inflammation (or as I have found out, potentially fatty liver), as MGUS in anyone younger than 60 is literally very very rare, something like 2% out of 3%. Also my Doctor explained that my tests showed a risk of anything higher than Stage 2 Fatty Liver is very very unlikely.

Other than that, my Doc's very happy as I have lost 3 stone, and said there should be an improvement in my LFT's when I have them retaken in Feb. 👍👍👍
