posypetaler (Fatty Liver Disease)
After home sick for week and diagnosis of bacterial virus went back to work only to have boss send me to ER for jaundice that showed up in eyes within short time at work. MRI and CAT SCAN showed my gall bladder is INSIDE my liver. Blood count showed bilirubin off the charts and enzyme levels dangerous. Biopsy showed that if I were to get worse transplant would be necessary to save my life. I had NO PAIN craved sugar and fatty foods even though NOT HUNGRY. Extreme Fatigue.
