Fatty liver
How did I get it?
Hi I'm 45 or will be in August.
I'm a female who has been small my whole life.
I am a mom of 2 daughters (both adults).
I was just told my by PCP that I have fatty liver. Period. I didn't have a chance to ask any questions because it was left in a voicemail for me.
I am deaf ( since 6 months old from an allergic reaction to the whooping cough vaccine,I spiked a really high fever..my mom took me to the hospital where they tried to bring down my fever (105°)
When it did come down and they sent me home my mom immediately noticed I was acting strangely and became very quiet. She took me to pediatrician after pediatrician until the 5th and last one confirmed her fear, I was sent to an audiologist who confirmed profound hearing loss in both ears --nerve damage -- and that's why I'm deaf)...
Anyway..in the past 3 years I started gaining weight really quick. I have been living in a very stressful situation so I thought maybe stress?
And that's why my belly was getting so big. Last year I pointed out to my PCP that my belly was getting big and I was starting to feel sick a lot and uncomfortable in my belly.
He didn't even order an ultrasound for me and said my blood work came back showing I was severely anemic.
Which I took to be the reason I was always tired ..
Now a year later..I'm scared thinking my PCP dropped the ball on this.
He could have found it last year!
I'm considering just going to the ER and tell them I'm having a lot discomfort and very tired all The time..I have bluecare plus advantage.
So I can go.
I'm thinking PCPs are dangerous,as well !!!
