Sorry I didn't update sooner, Mom's...LOL
I went yesterday for a whole bunch of tests (more blood work, including a Hepatitis screen), an abdominal ultrasound with special attention to liver - darn thing took 45 minutes! Then I had a liver biopsy. Let me say this was NOT anwhere as pleasant as they make it sound.
I should be getting the results back by the end of the week. Unfortunately, my doc is on holidays all this month, so I will have to see one of her colleagues. She has assured me that she explained what was going on it detail, so hopefully I won't have to start at the beginning, and my diagnosis/treatment won't be compromised. I am going to try and get an appointment for Friday afternoon.
As far as the yeast diet, I will bring my printouts with me and talk to this other doctor about it, but the opinion I really trust would be that of my own doctor.
In the meantime I feel not too bad, other than the lethargy, and this terrible heat doesn't help any. I went to my mom's house on the weekend, and I ended up having to sleep there in the afternoon while she watched the kids. I can eat pretty much what I want, but am still sticking to salad and meat (the thought of eating anything carb is really disgusting to me - weird, huh?) I am also trying to keep busy thru the day so I don't sleep so much, but this is a true bone-tiredness, not just boredom, so I don't know if that is really helping or not.
Oh, I am also supposed to have my scope done (hopefully, third time's the charm) on Tuesday, so please think of me that day...not so that I will get thru it ok, but so that it actually HAPPENS this time.
Hugs to all of you that are thinking about me, it means alot that you all care!!!
