CT scan results

CT scan results

Hi everyone

The results of Tuesday's CT scan show I have a fatty liver, so I've been researching how I can "help" my sick liver.

Avoiding alcohol, changing to a healthier diet, getting more regular exercise and losing at least 10% current body weight are high on the list.

I was interested to read that some medications can contribute to fatty liver. I have been on anti depressants for more than 20 years, but without them I don't know how I would have got by. So I wonder if this was a contributing factor. Anyway, doesn't matter: it is what it is.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can distract myself from eating and drinking, as I take great pleasure from doing both? Or is it back to my self-soothe kit for distractions? Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: CT scan results

Thanks @girl99

That's a great idea, having a special glass for a special drink. Because I need to feel special.

I agree, I find it difficult not to drink socially...I'm going to have to come up with alternatives.
