Health Update 41
Well, it's all kicking off now. I've just got a letter from the hospital booking me in for an overnight stay for a liver biopsy. Eurgh, needles, lots of prodding, gawping nurses, hairy arse hanging out of those stupid lace up gown things, oh the humanity. D-Day is the 9th September, which is a Friday and home again for the Saturday. I wonder if the hospital has Wi-Fi?

I think this is good news, at the very least it will eliminate one potential cause of the problems. Sorry you have to spend the night in hospital though, that won’t be very pleasant. Hope the news is good.

The Liver investigation has come about from all the blood tests I had to investigate the cause of my fatigue. There is no clear test for ME/CFS so they check for every other known disease that could be responsible and discount it from the list.
During these tests my Liver has consistently shown a high level of Enzymes which indicate it's fighting something, but no reason for this has been found through the blood tests. Hence the biopsy to take a sample of the tissue and have a decko at it.
I already had an appointment with the Consultant at the end of September so I presume that will be to discuss the results. It is unlikely that my Liver problems are related to the CFS but it warranted further investigation.
