Hi I'm looking for some insight, If you don't mind me asking what were your first physical symptoms that you knew something was wrong? Did you have strange symtoms, persistent pain, or pressure? The reason I'm asking over the years I've had extreme fatigue, headaches, vomiting attacks, WEIGHT GAin swelling in my feet, high BP, low tolerance to physical activity, I'm only good to actually get up and go for about 4 hours and then I am exhausted to the point I can't move, I'm sick to my stomach, feeling as if I'm going to die, I have a constant dull deep ache in my back at the lower rib that raps around to my front lower rib, I feel like something is pushing on my insides and creating pressure almost as if something is crushing me, every move and breathe I take I feel it, I have seen every tons of specialist nothing ever really shows up except abnormal LFT's at first my ALP was the only enzyme that was raised now over the last 6 months my ALT has started rising along with a slight raise in my AST and my BUN and the rest of the test are starting to drop and I've had heavy rectal bleeding with clots at times , I'm only 28 and have been dealing with this pain and feeling like crap for 6 years and the pain and symptoms seen to be progressing, I don't drink, use drugs, I don't really eat much I have no appetite but I still continue to gain wait, over the past month my palms and my sides of my stomach have been itching to the point I'm going insane, I have no rashes though? I'm trying to get a GI appt. To let him investigate but I have to go through my PCP to give me a referral to this particular physician because I have dealt with this so long I did the research and found the top rated GI specialist in our state, I have been tested for Hep c , had a hida scan, A GGT test, Several other tests and nothing shows up. Sorry for the long spill, but I'm scared, confused, and no one can really explain the symptoms and my flare ups when it all gets really bad and I can barely move because I feel so bad and the pain is so intense on my right side, I've even been tested for MS, and some other diseases to that degree, any information you can give would be appreciated
