As I'm thirty-nine, I thought it would be prudent to get a bit of an MOT. With this in mind I asked my doctor for a blood test to check my whatever it is they check in blood.
The result shows slightly raised levels in my liver enzymes. The Doctor is unable to tell me at the moment what is causing this. It could be a virus or infection, some disease or other, or a fatty liver.
She assures me I have nothing to worry about. I would say this fills me with confidence, but that is not even close to the truth. The next course of action is to go for a liver ultrasound next week, and the specialists will see what they see.
In the mean time, I figure I will work on the assumption I have a fatty liver; I'm three to four stone overweight, so it's not to big a leap of faith that this is the problem. Also this is something I can take action to deal with. Cut back on processed food, carbohydrates, red meat, and the food (that I go to for comfort) that I know is not good for my health.
I do love my food, so I need to find ways to turn what I eat, that is bad, into what I eat that is good.
