One of the joys of a wonky liver is you build up fluid from your waist down-basicallyyour legs,feet and belly puff out till your skin starts to stretch and you get a real burning unrelenting itch. The pressure on your gut can be relieved by running an 8 inch needle into your abdomen and draining it off-guess how I spent new year's Eve lol-they got about 70 ounces that time. I texted my Dr. yesterday as I puffed up again and he told me to come in for a sticking. Checked me out and figures if I use a diuretic and pump up my protein intake it will disburse on it's own-I need to eat at least a dozen raw eggs and lots of meat a day. So it's 'We have to have steak again honey-Dr's orders' lol. I sure didn't miss the big needle even if it gave some relief.
