In short, yes it is possible. It could be another chronic liver disease. Only a liver biopsy can determine this accurately if blood tests and fibroscan/CT/MRI show nothing. Although errors in diagnosis are possible when interpreting a biopsy by a poorly trained pathologist.

Yes!And probably very very often.

Simple tests will rule it out so ask your Dr.

Everyone is different. Best talk to a specialist in your support team. I get the odd discomfort, hard skin on fingertips, lack of energy, mood and nothing seems to work. My hair is as good as it ever was. I lost weight cut out fat, don't drink or smoke, never adds salt. A good varied diet is good. Sleep isn't great but at 56 never been any different. Get walking, keep warm now, cool during summer.

l don’t like to tell you but I had the same problems and I was cirrhosis of the liver but check with the consultant not a dnt tube consultant tell’s him good luck haoctor he will only tell you w
