Severe, 45-minute long leg cramps
When I'm falling asleep, I get terrible leg cramps where both the extending and the contracting leg muscles freeze for about 45 min. until my muscles "remember" where they belong. And then and only then I can put my foot on the floor. I'm scheduled for a kidney transplant and hoping that the cramps will

To continue or not....that is the question

as

Enlarged liver
Hi I have been told I have a mildly enlarged liver and fatty liver. The ultrasound was private and wasn't the best at relaying information. I knew I had a fatty liver but the enlarged bit has got me really worried. I don't know what it means. I've googled it but had to stop because it was taking me down

Delusions/Hallucinarions
I became very sick 5 years ago with all the symptoms of PA but was undiagnosed. I got to the point where I started having delusions of parasitosis and hallucinations. Has anyone else experienced delusions or halluconations? I'm afraid my brain may have been permanently damaged?
