Hello. I have not been given a diagnosis yet, but I have more than reasonable suspicion that I have caused a lot of liver damage. I drank a lot for many years with acetaminophen. Anyhow I see a lot of symptoms here as well as under the cirrhosis forum.

I have some itching on my right arm, dark circles under my eyes, wake up in the morning feeling poisoned, muscle loss, tinnitus, the lining of my mouth is very sensitive, disputed sleeping and finally for the last year or so I have had that sensation so many describe just below my rib cage. At one point it even felt hot!

The thing is I never am tired, not fatigued, great appetite and my libido is not that bad for a 46 years old male. I eat great. Healthy as possible.

Thanks.

Hi warwick68, Fatty liver often does advance as time goes by. The symptoms are similar with more advanced liver disease too. It is important to watch blood pressure and blood sugars. You will want to monitor these and try to avoid type 2 diabetes if possible.

If you watch your diet then that is always helpful. You are fortunate there is no fatigue/tired at this point. I do not have the bad fatigue yet. I will throw up without warning sometimes, so I always carry a plastic bag.

Keep us posted. Best Wishes.

I have non alcoholic fatty liver, no symptom but my blood work shows it and the scan.
I had avoid medications also I have low tolerance to them.
My diet is always health ,very upsetting but I read that non alcoholic fatty liver is common only that people do not know till they have tests.
Really I do not know what to change.

A simple blood test, that include liver function would tell you a lot. I would suggest you get that done before panicking about anything

Hello, I would like to share information on fatty liver disease, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) also known as silent disease is a type of fatty liver disease, which mainly affects people with diabetes and obesity. Symptoms of NASH are found among all demographics (from children to adults); however, they are more prevalent in younger people. Corner stage of cirrhosis is a form of NASH that can be reversed with proper medication. Moreover, most of the NASH specific pharmaceutical solution are in clinical trial phase .
Additionally, the absence of efficient diagnostic technologies acts as a major hurdle for the research of NASH therapeutics. Nevertheless, the emergence of novel biomarker technologies and improvements in liver biopsy technologies are expected to bring about an evolution in the diagnosis of NASH and other fatty liver diseases.
