"Your symptons are exactly what I have been going through and after years of searching found out I have Hepatitis C. Have you been checked for that?"
I was working in a butcher shop, handling a lot of raw meat when I became ill. (Physical aspect of the job became too hard for me.) About a year after I stopped working the doctor tested me for it and I was fine.
Does hepatitis affect the liver? The reason I ask is because my grandmother had a problem where I think it was her "liver" produced too much iron. She was very similar to myself with cracking bones etc but then she was in her late seventies. But awhile back I had wondered if somehow my liver was affected because of my low tolerance for alcohol. If I have two drinks I'm comatose. And the liver has something to do with how we absorb alcohol?
But now it has been five years and I figure it can't be serious, except for the fact that it can severly affect my ability to function. So all I'm focusing on is trying to maintain stability! : )
Thanks for asking though!
