LIVER ENLARGEMENT AND LIVER ENZYMES

by rochelle324, Oct 03, 2009 05:24PM
ALL I KNOW IS I WAS TOLD THAT MY MY LIVER WAS SLIGHTLY ENLARGED AND THAT WAS SIX MONTHS AGO. I HAVE STILL BEEN FEELING REALLY BAD HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ABDOMINAL PAIN, FEELING TIRED ALL THE TIME LIKE I HAVE NO ENERGY. THEY TOOK BLOOD. MY LIVER ENZYMES WERE ELEVATED THEY DIDNT EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THAT MEANS IM FREAKINING OUT. ALL THEY TOLD ME IS TO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND NOT TO TAKE ASPRIN. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHAT DO ALL THIS MEAN.

It all means you have damaged your liver! Alcohol and many drugs including those OTC are damaging to the liver. If you drink alcohol, quit for a month or so and your enzymes should return to normal. But be warned - increased enzymes means your lifestyle is damaging you and if you revert back to that lifestyle, more damage will occur.

Don't freak out, just listen to the message and do something about it. Your liver has a tremendous ability to heal itself given a chance to do so.
