Not feeling it...

I was diagnosed with F3 S3 by liver biopsy. I'm a part of a research study. I just had a visit with my doctors, my potassium levels came back very high and I'm retaining water like a mug. I managed to gain 8lbs...8 freaking lbs even though my eating has not changed, if anything my appetite has decreased dramatically. I was in excruciating pain for about 3 days where I couldn't even bend over, the pain went all around my middle, like circling my body but only from my liver back around to my liver. My husband, who never notices anything has noticed I'm holding my side more often. (Subconsciously when I hurt I tend to put my hands on the spot that hurts). I'm ready for this to be over. I'm tired of hurting and not feeling good, being so tired I cant get up to go to the freaking bathroom. I hate missing work but cant sleep through the pain some nights. I'm at a loss. What, if anything might I be able to do to get some relief, energy or positive vibes? I'm beat.

Hi

I really feel for you. I'm just the same. I was told that because my liver is so enlarged it stretches the capsule around it which causes the pain. No sleep is horrible, I get one hour or less due to pain so I do know how you feel. I find a hot water bottle helps a little . Sending healing thoughts and hugs to you Lynne xxxx

So sorry 😐 you’re struggling so much. I’ve not suffered with that much pain, but I found going to bed with a heat pack which is heated up in the microwave is very comforting . The content of the bag are wheat with added lavender. They only take seconds to warm up, and I personally find it very soothing . I bought mine on Amazon, an awful lot of choices and sizes. May well be worth a try. Hopefully you’re going to be feeling improved very soon.

All best wishes chrissie
