Yesterday was my follow up appt at the VA with the Liver Clinic. I started having abdominal pain last August that was bad enough to warrant 2 trips to the ER. Along with the abdominal pain, I have a history of elevated liver enzymes. Since the pain started, I have had 2 abdominal ultrasounds, 1 KUB, numerous lab tests drawn, and an MRI. They have put me on Zantac and Prilosec. The only thing they have found in all of the tests are 3 hemangiomas on my liver. The doctor said she doesn't think my pain is related to my elevated liver enzymes. The next procedure is a liver biopsy and more lab tests to check my insulin levels. Every time I go to the VA, I hope that they will finally come up with a diagnosis. Maybe Dr. House will be at my next visit and will finally help me figure this mystery out....
