Start of symptoms

[55spenc]

Hi All

Managed 6 months and a bit what I thought was symptom free of cirrhosis! 3 weeks ago after a meal I went into a shaking frenzy and within 1 hour I had a temp of 39.4 and the following 2 days 38.1 on average! Every muscle in my upper torso especially neck and shoulders felt like stone and! Passed it off as a virus! Last night 20/00/2023 temp hit a high again of 38.6, do I have a real cause for concern? Had my first 6 month HCC 3 weeks ago not had results as of today , no alcohol involved so any ideas?

Have you had gallbladder checked? Liver disease causes increased gallbladder issues. I have had this several times and always the gallbladder. Good luck Wayne

Thanks Wayne , don’t have a gall bladder or appendix 🤣 thanks for replying though

Sounds like an infection, as you first thought. Have you been to your doc?

Not typical cirrhosis symptoms.More like you picked up a bug .

If in doubt see your Dr.

Some Dr's don't make follow up appointments and wait till next regular consult in 6 months before giving results that don't need any treatment.

You might need to call and make an appointment if you want them sooner.

Have you done a lateral flow test for Covid? Even if it’s a virus it would be worth talking to your GP

I am not a doctor but those symptoms are what I had a few years ago when I had the flu.

I know Ken but it was sudden and I was in work 7 hours later!

[kensimmons]

Same with me, and it was the flu.
