appointment
I have another appointment with Dr Cooper in the morning to have a nerve induction test and will discuss all options including my iron levels. I have been doing some research on Vanderbilt university medical who is on the RLS list and at least one of the doctors take my insurance so I may be traveling

belimumab Infusions
Hi all, I’m suppose to be starting belimumab infusions next week, however there is a shortage in the medication so I’m just waiting for a new date I’m on all the usual medication for lupus but nothing seems to be working, I have had rituximab last year and the first lot lasted 5 months which was great

Mood swings
My husband has a decompensated liver. Recently I have noticed that he gets angry very quickly whereas, when he was drinking he was very placid He has been told he doesn't appear to have H.E. so are these mood swings liver related or would it be more likely to be his abstention from alcohol? I am treading

Severe hepatic steatosis
HiMy CT scan says liver has smooth contour, 'severe hepatic steatosis', no focal liver lesion or biliary dilatation. I phoned the helpline and was recommended to ask for fib 4 test but my gp says they don't do that. Just had normal full bloods and liver panel taken. Waiting for the results but I fear

Unknown Liver Disease or from Alcohol?
Hi About 8 weeks I had two alcohol binge sessions over the weekend on an empty stomach. (I only drink 3-4 times a year). Following this, about 4 days after, I started developing hot and cold flushes, sweating, hives and pruritus - especially on my stomach, poor wound healing. Pale colored stools.

liver enzymes going up and down
I had a routine blood test 18 months ago which showed elevated GGT at 126. My GP told me to cut down on alcohol and I stopped having any alcohol at home and just had an occasional drink if I went out socially. I’ve never been a big drinker anyway. Fast forward to last September when I had another blood

Elevated ELF but 'normal' Fibroscan pressure - how?
Hi All: I'm a 50-something male with a fatty liver. Recently I was given an ELF test and it returned a result at the lowest end of the 'severe fibrosis' range. A follow-up Fibroscan gave a reading in the upper normal range for liver stiffness. How can the disparity be explained? Do I give more credence
