Overwhelmed with fear and anxiety, since being diagnosed with fatty liver disease. I also have diabetes and stage 3a kidney disease. My stomach looks like I’m six months pregnant. The pain in my right upper quadrant is excruciating at times.

I just found out that I have stage 3 Nash and I don't see the liver doctor till September. I'm super tired all the time, have dizzy spells, shap pain on upper right side which comes and goes, nausea and very itchy skin. No one has told me what I'm suppose to do for this and I'm very stressed out

Hang in Tammy. I would suggest READ READ on your own.. I've been reading NOW for 1.5 yrs. ++.. NO dr. ever told me lately (within last few yrs) that I have fatty liver (was told many yrs. ago) No dr. ever told me anything yet! I've read read on my own for long long time, Also I had a tall lean bro. died from non alcholic (I never drank either) cirrosis of the liver.. Why would NO dr. tell me what to eat, tell me what I have, tell me suggestions what to do to help?? I will NEVER understand that!! Why should I have to google for well over a yr. on my own?? Sigh.. Good luck to you! There are meds that can be tried... change your eating habits... talk to others that share the same illnesses... God Bless you.
