Okay, I haven't been here at all in prolly a yr, but o well. Anyway I was told today that I had fatty liver disease and I was going to have a liver biopsy so they could see how bad it was. Well I couldn't find hardly anything about it on any site, since I don't drink. I just remember reading a while back about it and it said that endocrine disorders can maybe cause it, however, that was only one place I found it. I am having so much trouble finding anything about this, even my mom (who is a nurse) couldn't find anything about it in any of her medical books. Well I know I read some of you had fatty liver, but does anyone have fatty liver disease? (wishing there was a forum somewhere for that, but so far I havent' found one). Well, my history here is that I did have hepatitis A and mono about a yr and a half ago, but I've been diagnosed with PCOS for about 2-2 1/2 yrs. I just lucked out that I found out I had PCOS I guess, since I am not sexually active so therefore me being infertile never came up, only that I have a diligent dr who takes me seriously did I find out I had this in the first place, and now that I have something wrong with my liver. Anyways, (I tend to go off on tangents, sorries) I went to the dr last august cause I was sick to my stomach for a while and they did bloodwork and my liver enzymes came out way high. So they did a sonogram of my liver and my spleen and then they did the SAME things this past jaunuary and the liver enzymes came out high, and so did an elevated liver function test and I had fat in my liver and both it and my spleen are enlarged. I am still waiting to actually have the biopsy done, but the dr is fairly confident that's what I have because he did all my other bloodwork to check for other things and those came out normal. Anyways, I just remember getting the most help from this site no matter what the heck was wrong with me, whether or not it had to do with PCOS. You are more supportive than any other site I've seen so far. If you can help then please reply, information or good sites or if you have it yourself, any of those would help me A LOT. Thanks!!! :)

PS wow this is long, heh
