Fatty Liver Disease, no help from GP
First post, no advice from GP. After ultrasound my GP told me I have a fatty liver, I asked what this meant, she replied ‘who knows’! So I’m in the dark. I’m 55, Type 2 diabetic, try to keep within drinking limits (2-3 times per week), overweight, but take daily exercise. I know loosing weight will help

I'm new here
I'm a 52 year old woman and have just been told I have
dilated
cardiomyopathy
. After a shock (my gentle Labrador was attacked, luckily she's fine) I ended up having pains in the chest and couldn't breath properly.
