Liver | dyin2live's Blog

I had a very bad night last night... very painful from 3am, on to about 9am.  I felt like someone was ripping out the very middle of me...oh it hurt!  On the doc's pain scale, I scaled it at a 9.  Anyway, I went to the doc today thinking it might be my pancreas again as I have had issues with that before.

They did the bloodwork for my pancreas.  It came back.

Lypase they're still waiting on.  Amylaise was high.  And my liver enzymes were through the roof! 

What--wait a sec.  My liver???  Are you sure?

Yeppers... in August my liver enzymes (or whatever) were at an 11.  Now they are somewhere above 480.  Something has my liver totally inflamed.

I am so afraid right now.  It could be a hepatitis.  It could be liver disease.  It could be my medication.  It could be cirrhosis (sp?).  It could be that they screwed up something in my gallbladder surgery and there is a blockage now.

I have to leave for a sonogram of my liver and pancreas shortly.  That will tell the doctor more.

Please pray for me.

UPDATE:  They didn't find any blockages in the sonogram.  That is both good news and bad news at the same time.   The good news is, there are no blockages to cause any issues for me in the future.  The bad news, they don't know what's causing this issue.

I have been instructed by the doctor to remain in a fast until my appointment at noon tomorrow.  All I can have is ice chips.  They will retest my blood levels then to see if my liver enzymes fall at all.

I am so afraid of what this could mean.
