Hi all.
I have CF have had a high liver count for years now (over ten that I can remember).
I am really concerned that I have cirrhosis from my CF because I notice that one symtom on this was fatigue and tiredness. Over the past years 4-5 I have noticed a DEEP decrease in my energy levels. I can go to do something as simple as visit my brother at his house and play with his two yr old for as little as an hr and I feel completely exhausted.
I also have Cf related diabeties and ppl are always telling me high blood sugar will do this. However my blood sugar has been in good control.
I take a pill called Actigal for my high liver count.
My questions are these.
Should I find out if I have cirrhosis? (Once doctor told me there was not much I could do if I had it.)
What can I do if I have it?
How can I get a definate answer if I have it or not?
What is a biopsy for testing and is it 100% correct? What does it involve and is it safe?
I would really apreciate if someone could shed some light on this for me.
