I have been missed diagnosed with liver disease for years I believe that I am still around because I do not drink and I am quite strict with my diet etc. I have also taken a lot of over the counter medication for liver disease. I believe that the disease has been caused by DILI / prescribed medication.

Diahrea, uncontrollable bladder, pain in my right side between my hip to shoulder, falls, short term memory loss, loss of appetite, severe headaches

I’m sorry to hear , have you had any tests done ? May I ask the colour of your stools ? Does certain foods effect your mental state

[TillySyd in reply to Chickenlady34]

Stools are like a clay colour

You have biliary stones if you have clay stools.... could be gall stones. Are you yellow

Yes I know I have stones, my gall bladder is full of them but still nothing from my GP's, once I get this liver disease sorted I will have the gall bladder removed.

No jaundice which is reassuring

I'm not a doctor however your liver, gallbladder and pancreas have a lot of cross functions and all sit together in a part of your abdomen called the Glissons Capsule. There are no pain receptors in your liver, therefore if you are getting pain in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen it's actually coming from the Glissons capsule and so you could have issues with any of the organs contained within it.

It's perfectly possible to have some degree of issue with your liver and issues with your gallbladder at the same time. Does the pain increase after eating any particular foods, specifically those high in fat? The gallbladder makes bile which is used to break down high fat foods. If a bile duct is blocked by a stone, the bile can't get into your stomach thus causing the pain.

The pain and the issues with your bowels are indicative of gallstones. The falling and short term memory loss are not. Please continue to speak with your GP to understand what is happening with any test results.

My GP’s have caused these problems with medication and to be honest they want me out of the way because I have too much info on them they have been trying various things for years, I cannot change GP because there are no more GPs near me and I am Severely disabled.
