Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I visited my gastro doctor recently to schedule my yearly colonoscopy. I mentioned my fatigue and RUQ pain, as I do every time I see him. On this occasion however, he said to me: " You're young and healthy, and if it wasn't for the lab tests, you wouldn't even know you had liver disease. " (My hepatologist has dx me as Stage 2 PSC, by the way). I couldn't believe my ears! I told him I strongly disagreed. My RUQ pain is almost constant and the fatigue can be debilitating at times. I've been seeing this doctor for almost 20 years, and respect him a great deal. I just can't figure what would make him say that all of a sudden. Maybe he was trying to give me some positive reinforcement or something? He did have an intern with him at the time, so maybe that swayed his judgement; I don't know.
