Worried about my liver. It's tender when the doc palpated it.
AST/ALT, plus lipid panel and iron/ferritin etc are all perfect.
Endocrinologist told me I haven't reversed my NAFLD, despite weight loss and cutting my risk factors for diabetes etc.
Now wondering if my (non-symptomatic) factor five leiden mutation (heterogenous) might be influencing/impacting the NAFLD, as well as my hypertension. To add to that constellation of fuckeduppedness, even despite my weight loss, I still have Syndrome X.
As is my nature, my mind goes to the things I can control, like how to combat oxidative stress on my liver; yet, in conflict with that, I still want what I want. I want to be able to drink a glass of wine or cocktail a week or so.
In the meantime, I am trying to hydrate more. Going to up my omega-3 to 2x a day. I'm already on alpha lipoic acid and milk thistle both 2x a day. Was investigating SAM-e, but endo said NO. So not sure what else I can do to hack this.
I'll be scheduling an abdominal sonogram for the liver, and a pelvic U/S for the adenomyosis and PCOS sometime soon. So I guess I should anticipate being referred out to a liver specialist in 2015.
