Please, Advice!cirrhosis Syntoms?
Hi all!
I'm new here and I need some help/advice. I'm 34 yrs old female who used to drink really heavily due to stress, depression,..1-2 bottles of wine almost every day, some days off alcohol in between, for the last 5 years.I gave up a couple of months ago when after a treatment with erythromycin and paracetamol(3grs/day) I drank alcohol and I went sick with diarrhea, since then I haven't had a normal BM, alternating constipation with loose stools, mucus in stool,sometimes I can see undigested food, the stool is dark green colour and recently has got lots of pinpoint size black dots. I went to the Doc and did full blood tests for FLT,bilirubin, anemia, total protein, also a stool test and all came back negative.
I noticed my eyes a bit yellowish under the eylid, but doctor says bilirubin is fine, so it's not jaundice,also I noticed I've had pinpoint size red dots distribuited over my upper body, which the doc said it was petechiae, caused by alcohol intake, he gave me ranitidine for the digestion, but after 2 days I had to stop it as I got bleeding gums in the morning, also my gums always bled when brushing and my doctor says I've got gingivitis,he did another blood test, CBC and PT for clotting disorder, which came back normal, also urine and another stool test for occult blood, which again came back normal. He says all I've got is stress, but wherever I look up it says my syntoms are those of cirrhosis.
He has ordered an US, which I'm having in a few days. Has anyone got syntoms like these with normal blood tests? Could it be a reaction to the paracetamol+antibiotic with the alcohol?
Some answers would be very much appreciated.
thanks a lot
