After fighting with the clinic about never getting my CT results (it’s been a month!) and having to spend my last few $ on gas to drive to the hospital medical records department, I finally know that the current consistent pain in my side is due to liver disease.
The NAFLD diet is offensively contradictory to my other diets and will be very difficult (maybe impossible) to adhere to due to Gastroparesis and oxalate kidney stones, but I’m going to have to try to figure this out. My brother and I have genetic variants that predisposed us to this and several other diseases, so we are required to work extra hard to beat the odds. His liver is in cirrhosis and beginning necrosis, and he is less than 4 years older than me. We are both in our 40s, and overweight, but not obese. I’m going to work hard to find a meal plan that will help me improve all of my numbers (weight, liver function, etc.). I hope it will show people that I am choosing to stay even though I’m in severe pain and completely fed up with life.
I expect to see my birthday a month from now, but with so much of my body revolting against me, the years ahead feel very ify. I’ll do my best.
