Liver Problems

So last night, I got a letter from my new doctor saying I have an inflamed liver, similar to hepatitis. It's almost certainly due to a medicine I was taking for my ADD (Strattera), which was literally useless anyway (though my psychiatrist insisted I continue taking it for years in spite of that :shrug:). I hadn't felt any severe pain so far, but today, I had what felt like pretty bad indigestion, which might possibly relate back to my liver problem. :hmm: The healthcare up here in rural Wisconsin isn't particularly great, partly due to very little job competition (a nurse with cerebral palsy was given the job of drawing my blood, and she missed the vein :X), so hopefully I won't have to go for any long-term hospital treatments. I've never had anything like this before, but if any of you have had similar experiences, I would really appreciate some info.

Apparently, liver pain forms somewhere around the bellybutton, and seeing as my bellybutton needs to feel 1000% perfect at all times in accordance with my personality (and OC), this whole ordeal is far from satisfactory. Perhaps I can get the best possible care from the hospital if I tell them how urgently I need my tummybutton to return to its wonderful self. After all, can you possibly imagine me having to cope with a sub-par tummybutton? :fear: :rofl:

Oh no! :ohnoes: I hope it's nothing too serious. I haven't experienced anything like this either, so I'm not really sure what to say. I'm sure you'll be alright though. Since there hasn't been much pain it sounds like you've caught it pretty early on, so it should be easier to manage and cure, I would think. Wishing you the best of luck! We're here for ya'! :hug: :aww:
