Liver disorder or something else?

Liver disorder or something else?

  I just had some blood work done to try to figure out some of the problems I am having and it came out with some elevated liver functions. The doctor said I should not worry and would like to repeat the test in a month or so, maybe it is related with the hepatitis B I had 16 years ago (I'm 30). He said all is OK but left me with plenty questions and no answers.
  I had a miscarriage (10 weeks pregnant) almost 2 months ago. At first my body went crazy with the hormones trying to get back to normal levels. My OB-GYN said it will all regulate after I have my first period, which I already had 2. Emotionally I feel OK but physically I feel like all is falling apart. Although on a diet and exercise regimen, I've put over 10 pound in the last month, I'm loosing lots of hair daily, I'm not sleeping well (most 3 hours a night -- just can't sleep), I've been having pain on the left side of my lower abdomen. At firt I thought it was my ovaries overworking, but it is there off and on, sometimes it hearts when I walk, mainly if I have my bladder or intestines full. It feels like the head of a kitchen knive touching my abdomen at every step. And when I go to empty my bowels, I have a pain that moves through my whole abdomen, as if they were electric current moving to the lower abdomen and it goes away once I finished going to the bathroom.
  I had a endometriosis surgery done a year ago with some adhesions removed and those "electric currents" were present for 3 months after the surgery and then disappeared. Now they are back. What could that be?  Also, can a liver problem be causing the hair, weight and sleep problems I have?  My thyroid exam came clear. I do not know where to look anymore, and I know the doctor must be missing something, all this cannot be normal. Also, how does typhoid fever affect the liver and other organs? I had it when I was 19 years old, did not know much about it, did not know how important the liver is to the body. Can all be "cleaned" up?  Please help. And thanks in advance.
