Here is a list of common symptoms in the lead up to AIH or subacute liver failure
I got as far a 'jaundice' and not mentioned here, some of the brain symptoms such as confusion, falling over, etc
The first list is interesting - it was all happening but my LFT's were normal! I have had fibromyalgia - aren't these very similar symptoms?????
Thus it as was impossible to spot - until I turned YELLOW!
Common symptoms of AIH are:
- fatigue
- general feeling of ill-health
- lack of energy
- tendency to tire easily
- inability to finish a full days work
- the need to have more sleep
- joint pains (arthralgia) which are an indirect effect of chronic hepatitis and are usually mild and intermittent, noted mostly in the mornings.
Less common symptoms may be:
- nausea
- decreased appetite
- weight loss
- abdominal pain or bloating
- indigestion
- jaundice
- abnormal blood vessels on the skin on the face, arms and chest
- bruising
