NAFLD, 19M gallstone, fibroscan 11.10

Hi hoping somebody can help, advice etc sorry for long post.Diagnosed with fibromyalgia, PA/b12, Raynauds, and few others pre 2017, during covid had dodgy/bloating stomach had ultrasound which showed NAFLD, 19m gallstone and sludge, later had another on gallbladder just said 19m gallstone, referred to heptology who said they'd whip ot out I declined as wanting to know original cause/link to PA ? Then would leave me with more issues?

He referred me to gastro who think its more colon issues but sent me for fibroscan, had this the other day but I was an awkward one (as per) she had difficulty getting between my ribs but it measured 11.10 so has asked for a repeat appointment, and go from there.

I've always had issues with gurgling tum, and if husband puts his arm over tum just under ribs I have to get him to move it. Bloods on the past have shown iron, folate and b12 deficiency, but iron is now OK and I have weekly b12 shots (every 8 weeks at gp) and Supplement folic, also shown above range ggt and cholesterol.

Never got told about this its just I've become more aware as I'm checking things out and in more detail.

Also I helped in fibromyalgia research and had a brain MRI lucky me showed some issues with white brain matter.

The lady who did the scanner mentioned the raynauds is this linked to liver issues?

My gp surgery is sooooo slow, and just trying to look at more health help etc

Thanks for reading

Well wish me luck going for my repeat fibroscan later today, hopefully my ribs will behave, any tips on this I'm only 4ft 9in (145cm) so guessing that doesn't help ?

Not what you're looking for?
