It's not cancer..... yay?

[CurbsidePharmacist]

So I just heard back from the surgeon that requested a contrast dye MRI and they say the spots on muh liver are fatty tissues, so they are sending me to see if its Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

All the pain I'm having in my gut feels like I've been gut punched by Mike Tyson so that's a relief and kinda a bummer at the same time lol... It's not cancer but ... here have a equally bad disease lol

I really wish these tests and Drs visits were not weeks apart from each other with a week wait time on results lol.... I have this combination of conditions called unstable angina and/or Prinzmetal's angina that causes heart attack like chest pains when under stress or emotional situations.... and it's been kicking in on overtime the last few weeks lol.

I had planned on just taking time off from everything and relaxing but after about a hour of "trying to relax" I just gave up and started shit posting on the forums for fun lol.

TLDR: Take better care of yourselves, I was 26/27 and only mildly overweight when I developed heart disease that about killed me in 2016 @36 with a massive heart attack. It only took 10 years lol I guess hindsight is 20/20 since I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease and strokes.

At this point I'm pretty sure I was Hitler in a past life haha.

I've heard about 1/3 of people have a fatty liver, it's not a big deal usually. I noticed it one of my scans and so the doc explained it. He wasn't even going to bother and tell me.

[CurbsidePharmacist]

Yeah I read up on it a bit and the only way they generally detect it is when the pain symptoms start. That's what led me to the ER that day.
Sadly I have (All) of the precursors type 2 diabetic and heart disease so I'm kinda curious whats creating the pain symptoms. I also take a heavy dose of statins and have a really high level of triglycerides for some time now, however my cholesterol levels are pretty normal now compared to a few years ago but that still didnt prevent a heart attack lol.

Seems like every step forward I make I get knocked back 2

Ask your doc for Bentyl and use it daily and when you have the pain. What if may be is blockages. It's a smooth muscles relaxer that will loosen up and untangle anything like that. And that will give you a big idea if it's digestion related or not.

If not, well it's mild drug and won't hurt to try.

He usually just hits me in the face with his one hit knockout punch....course others he has bit their ear off. Videogames (and sport news) aside, I'm glad it's not cancer, and hope you get a clean bill of health. As for gut pains, I play videogames to ignore the pain, but rarely works. Most times it's just mindless destruction till it goes away.

Change your diet to plants only. With this your sickness should go away.

[EarthwormJames]

Well to be clear the reason I suspected blockages is because I used to have pains like the ones he's describing, so bad you almost pass out from the pain. And it was blockages. And there are various reasons that could be, the scariest is a tumor in your gut blocking food. But it looks like that was rule out so it's probably due to diet and/or other factors.

Well good news with a bit of WTF news. Also you must feel pretty bad to reference yourself possibly being Hitler in a past life.

Good news to hear its not cancer, I went thru the same scare
a couple of years back. A good vegie diet and time should clean that up.
It help me.

[CurbsidePharmacist]

This is as close to "eating veggies" as I can get lol


They digest them for me lol.

But seriously the last 2-3 years the diet has been trimmed down quite a bit, no more fried foods less sugar intake and lots of walking when the weather permits. Veggies are fucking expensive here in the winter months and most store grown produce does not have the right textures, my mother grows a ton of garden veggies in the spring and summer so lots of fresh and free coming here soon as this winter weather fucks off.

I found it funny that a salad at a place like McDonalds or our local stores can cost up to $6 for a single serving salad but you can get a McMeal for the same price.

I had to chuckle. Goddamnit you're funny that's for sure. Got type 2 diabetes here as well but damn crazy ass girlfriend will kill me before then with her constant over caring.

At least you scratch out one possible bad one from the list.
