I got some scary ELF and LFT in Feb this year - ALT Over 100 and retest showed it was rising + ELF just below the 10.5 marker. I was 15.5 stone with BMI 36 Was referred to Heptology - (still no appointment from there now). I went down a depressing Google rabbit hole as - (apart from this site) didn’t seem to get any support. I was suffering from severe insomnia and stress. But it scared me into action- I was reading I might be lucky to have a few years left ( age 50). But this did prompt me to suggest changes to my blood pressure medication from doctors - which they agreed with. I also used this site to help completely change diet and activity level. I had an ultrasound around 3 months later which showed fatty liver and reduced ‘echo’ but smooth and normal size no lesions. I am now 12 stone and loosing approximately 2 lb a week with blood pressure back to normal range ( so off blood pressure tablets) as a result of using my smart watch to ensure I hit my move goal and switching to low sugar salt foods and fresh foods wherever possible. I had my 6 month blood tests and all normal now so wanted to share that when I was first told ‘ oh eat healthier and Excercise more ‘ as there was no ‘treatment’ - I was devastated but actually seeing that this has really made a difference to my results was like winning the lottery. I know it doesn’t help everyone but I really looked for a post that told me I could possibly make a difference to my outcome and struggled to find that hope sometimes so wanted to share this. Now I am focused on being able to continue this and feel so much better health wise I have loads of energy and sleep so well!
