1. Swollen Abdomen : Well, I’ve got a pooch.
2. Jaundice: Nope, nothing but white eyes and typical yellow hue of Asian skin.
3. Abdominal Tenderness: Well, the doctor pushed that upper right corner and did feel some tenderness.
“Abdominal pain, particularly in the upper right corner of the abdomen, or to the lower right portion of the rib cage, is a telling sign of liver damage.”
4. Urine Changes: I thought that my dark urine meant I wasn’t drinking enough water, meaning dehydration.
5. Irritated Skin: I thought that I was washing too many dishes with harsh dish-washing liquid that made the skin of my fingertip rough.
6. Stool Changes: Yup. Constipated.
7. Nausea: Hey! Maybe that was my VERY severe flu-like symptom starting last year after several early morning breakfast from “Simbang Gabi”. I felt like I had to cough out something deep within that the spasm made me want to heave a dry puke.
8. Loss of Appetite: Yup, before Memorial Day, I didn’t feel like eating. My blog showed how I refused to eat before seeing the doctor and starting my Nutrisystem diet plan.
9. Fluid Retention: Yup. Although not quite edema, I noticed that taking an over-the-counter water pill helped relieve “fluid”, thus allowing better breathing.
10. Exhaustion: Yup. I was feeling run down most of the time and breathless, too!
