So this morning’s phone Dr appointment has left some unpacking to do... Despite me being the only one sick the assumption it it was viral. What I have now is Post-Infection Irritable Bowel Syndrome (PI-IBS) which we will be keeping a close eye on because of some of the other sh-tuff going on too. Basically this virus seeeeeriously pissed my system off and it could be quite awhile (up to 10 years according to some of the literature) before it’s 100% back-back, if ever. I’m old... lol. Expect pain and continued upset for awhile. I also have Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which we basically already knew but now it’s been named. The (really) good news is the scans show that there isn’t significant scarring to my liver, yet, despite some of the other symptoms (bloat, pain, swelling etc...) going on in there soooo...it has not developed into Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). That was a big worry. They ran all the hepatitis tests -all clear- and a battery of other tests to see about various other viruses etc... including several childhood ones... most of which I still have yet to get. lol... being a healthy child is not paying off later it seems, I almost died when I got fifths (slap cheek) when pregnant with boy 4 -15 years ago. I’m only getting older and slower at healing. I am allowed back on all my meds again, including my pain killers (5 weeks without, oye) and supplements. Left off with a check-in again in 2 weeks, already had a requisition ready for more liver/inflammation bloodwork for next week, call in to phone-meet with the clinics dietician and a shit tonne of sites/research to follow up on before we speak again. ...aaaand that’s the #update #notdeadyet #gettingoldandfallingapart #answers #morequestions #stufftodigest https://www.instagram.com/p/CDM9f2-gdvC/?igshid=15vubb9dc02p8
