About Me: Female, 36, spring hill, FL, member since May 2008
I am a 32 year old registered nurse on a telemetry floor at a small hospital. Recently had blood work (April 2008) due to fatigue and had elevated ALT (545, normal range is 30-65) and AST (267, normal range is 15-37). So I've been through a ton of blood tests, ct scans,

[More] ultrasounds, even a liver biopsy- yet all I know currently is that I have moderately active chronic hepatitis of unknown origin. Looks like my liver is at stage 2 or 3 as far as damage.

Next appointment with him is July 14th, where he is going to review the biopsy results with me and hopefully come up with a plan.

I've continued to work and at times I think I'm sicker than my patients, I look so crappy sometimes that a few have offered to share their beds :). Just looking here for any ideas, hoping to find a reason I have this "hepatitis" so it can be treated.
Thanks to anyone that responds and I wish everyone here a feel good day.
