Would like to tell you my whole ordeal. Back in 2005 went to a plasma center to give plasma. Few days later was told have hep c Went straight to doctor had ct scan with contrast everything looked normal. Got put a 1 year treatment ribervarin shot once a week. In 2007 I cleared virus. I also had the burning in stomach and side pain doctor couldn’t figure it out so by chance he did another ct scan found gallbladder sludge. He took gallbladder out. Still had same old pain. I asked him if I had cirrhosis he said no. Then 2009 he did endoscopy found the chronic superficial gastritis suggested reactive gastropathy. Told me to take nexium. And eat better. At that time I lost insurance at job could not go back. Couple years later I worry non stop about if I have cirrhosis or something. 2012 Stomach pain comes on after stressing really bad and have black and red stools. I go straight to emergency room tell them they do ct scan with contrast and tell me liver appears normal nothing wrong. Gave me pills thinking it might be ulcer. 2013 same thing happened again after worrying. They did ct scan with contrast came back saying liver appears normal nothing wrong. All blood work is in normal range also. To date right now I still get the heart burn off and on when stressed out. But haven’t had any blood. Just worried I have cirrhosis and they didn’t see it. Still don’t have insurance. Those results in 2018 I posted were last results. I just got another CBC with liver functions test the other day everything normal but still is showing infection some place. Doctor gave me antibiotics. And one year ago I had what I thought was a bad sinus infection left nostril pain then started to bleed. When cold went away the pain went away never had it happened again. I just worry that I have cirrhosis because of the painful nosebleed a year ago. I just had a CBC with liver functions done the other day at a doctor office because I was worried. Really worried about the painful nosebleed in left nostril I had when was sick with I think was sinus infection Tell me what you think. Just went to a regular doctor the other day told them I wanted a CBC and liver functions everything came back normal. But keeps showing high total wbc count high neutrophils low lymp and low monocytes. He said infection. That has been that way since 2016. I do drink alcohol off and on. Just worried I have cirrhosis and they missed it let me know what you guys think.
