    Give luvmydog a hug

      From swandy52 June 13

      I've been where you are at about one year ago. I went through all kinds of tests and finally a liver biopsy. I was afraid to die.

      Biopsy result revealed I have non-alcoholic fatty tissue liver disease-caused by high cholesterol, high triglicerides, the 'good' cholesterol level was bad and liver enzymes were sky high.

      A lotta people have NAFTLD and the doctor told me if I could get my triglicerides to normal and cholesterol to normal...and watch whatever I eat - avoid processed foods, sugar content, eat moderate carbohydrates. I was put on meds. Lose weight and do some kind of exercise, including walking around the block, parking vehicle further away to get those extra steps.

      Several months later, everything was normal. And, I only ate fresh fruit, fish, chicken/turkey. I lost 30 lbs without any exercise since my hip had to be replaced.

      Think positive!

      Please have hope. If this was SERIOUS your doctor woulda had the tests done immediately.
