I realize things are rough for you, I am so sorry. You have GOT to get some medical help somehow right away. Something is definately going on in your liver. Have you been tested for Hep C? Pleae get to a doctor, there are many liver conditions you could be suffering with and you need a doctor to help you find out what is going on. Best of luck. Your symptoms all sound like they are liver related.

thank you. i have been doing research ever sence they told me i could have hbv. i went to the doctor today and they told me that i do in fact have it. i have been having problems with my liver and when i went to the emergency room they told me my enzymes were very high. i had been feeling sick and went to the ER. so they did their tests and all that lovely stuff. and i had a follow up appointment today. my doc told me i have had hbv at one time in my life but thats not what is effecting my liver. so now i have to have an ultrasound and a biopsy. all of which i cannot pay for and all of which mean that there is something else wrong with me other than hbv. i am very scared and very nervous about the next few weeks. Another thing is.. i am itchy. i cannot stop scratching.. all over. especially my feet which are normally very sensitive. i have damn near scratched them raw. i suppose i am just sick of being sick. and the whole adulthood thing isnt all its cracked up to be. i just got out on my own. no insurance, no parents to take care of me. this sucks
