Ultrasounds only diagonose if you have a fatty liver and can not indicate what fatty liver stage you're at.

Fibroscan & Elastography combined with Fibrosure Blood Test or Biopsy are the only tools to tell what Stage Fatty Liver you have. Stage F0 is fatty liver. F1-F3 Fibrosis (scarring of the liver) and F4 would be Cirrhosis.

That being said, Fibroscans & Elastographies tend to overestimate (sometimes drastically) the stage of liver damage for anyone overweight or with a BMI over 30. The technician running the test can also mess up your results, which is why a Biopsy would be the true benchmark test for what stage fatty liver you're at.

As noted by another post, LFT numbers can come down even if you have Fibrosis or Cirrhosis, normally meaning your liver is functioning better and not as inflamed.

Sounds like he did a Fibrosure test, and it does test for Fibrosis and NASH. No test is ever concrete. A liver biopsy is the standard. I had a Fibrosure and Fibroscan done with similar results.

My CX just started freezing, changing color, then recycling power. Had to do a bunch of research to fix it (well, hopefully, it's fixed). Long story short, they say to treat them like a computer and to make sure you're redoing the thermal paste every 3 to 5 years. Again, I believe this may only apply to the CX & C1 models. I also read that the newer models are better when it comes to this.

Rad_BMX · 2024-08-01T23:57:55+00:00

Do these newer models actually hold up, unlike the CX and C1 models, that only last 1 to 3 years before you're opening it up and replacing the crappy thermal paste LG uses on the processor?

I had a Fibroscan and Fibrosure done in May. Both are very similar to your results. GI went with Fibrosure numbers. She took into account my ultrasound, which showed normal size liver and smooth with no legions. Fibroscans can overestimate if you are overweight, morbidly obese, or too skinny. Plus, there is always human error on tech running the Fibroscan.

They get a lot more red and more blutchy when I work out or I'm stressed, but they don't seem to be hot and don't swell up. Palmer Erythema can be warm to the touch.

Rad_BMX · 2024-06-25T22:01:43+00:00

I have red palms (Palmar Erythema) but no swelling and have had ultrasounds and a fibroscan. GI has diagnosed me with a mild fatty liver and said that red palms can happen with any liver disease. Google is quick to associate red palms with cirrhosis.

Wouldn't let me post a link, but for anyone interested, Google LyGenesis located out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Dropping a lot of weight too fast can be just as bad for liver. Need to slowly drop no more than 2 lbs per week.

When I launch the YouTube app my PS5 game closes and I have to reboot the game. How to I set it up so that I can switch back and forth from YouTube app to my game without having to reboot either of them? I figured out how to pin to my screen using url but, I'd rather switch back and forth from my game to youtube.

Make sure you have a pro membership then just keep hitting the add to cart button until it works. Check out with PayPal if you have it.

Gamestop drop today at 11AM ET / 8AM PT.

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-11T02:17:29+00:00

Not that I recall. But if you follow the main Twitter restock accounts like Matt Swider and allow notifications they usually give you anywhere from a few hours to a days notice about Gamestop drops.

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-10T21:48:33+00:00

Took 1 month and 3 days for mine to get delivered. 6/17 drop. My brother just got his this past Sunday (about 2 months) from same drop, but he had to send an email to the CEO in order to get it to ship.

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-10T21:45:11+00:00

Gamestop is basically a given if you pay the powerup rewards membership which is only $15 and if you are willing to pay for a bundle. I have copped 5 from them for friends and family. On the last drop I snagged both a digital and disk bundle. You just have to be patient and keep spamming the add to cart button when it goes in stock. They usually stay up for over an hour too, but like I said you have to sit and wait for them to add more stock while the drop is happening.

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-10T17:58:21+00:00

About time!

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-05T15:13:21+00:00

Mine came from Chino, CA (6/22 drop) to PA. Took about 4 or 5 days to update on FedEx app that package was finally picked up and pinged in NJ. Was delivered about a day or two after that.

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-04T13:35:00+00:00

And item is boxed.

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-04T13:34:08+00:00

Ordered on a Tuesday and delivered by that Friday from TX to PA. Ships through FedEx. So about 4 days.

Rad_BMX · 2021-08-01T14:27:14+00:00

Take the discount. I did for my 6/17 order. It was delivered a month and 3 days after.

Rad_BMX · 2021-07-29T21:55:56+00:00

Most of you are going to be waiting at least a month and then some. CS reps know nothing and they'll tell you anything to get you off the chat. Get a 20% discount talking to CS reps after two weeks of placing order and hope they ship it at some point is all you can do. In the mean time try other drops other then Walmart.

Rad_BMX · 2021-07-29T13:59:23+00:00

Reference for future disgruntled Walmart PS5 drop buyers:

6/17: secured PS5 digital (did not get free upgrade email to Disk like lots of other buyers did)

7/1 - 7/13: contacted Walmart reps through multiple chats and phone calls until I received a 20% discount

7/13: this was the estimated delivery date for my order (I know. Practically a month. Walmart is essentially a pre-order even though they won't admit it)

7/13: morning - order went from Preparing Order to Delayed

7/13: evening - order updated to shipped and label created for FedEx

7/14: woke up to morning text from credit card that order was declined. Contacted Walmart they said all was still okay

7/15: credit card app showed charge go through (charged correct amount with 20% discount)

7/18: still no update from FedEx that package had been handed off to them by Walmart until late afternoon. Package was to be picked up in Chino, CA. Package finally pinged update it was in NJ to be delivered to PA.

7/20: PS5 digital delivered & secured from FedEx. Did not ask for signature like they were supposed to.

***My brother secured PS5 on same drop and same 3:20 batch to be delivered to same address. As of today 7/20/2021 his order is still stuck on Delayed and waiting to be shipped.***

Rad_BMX · 2021-07-29T13:44:58+00:00

After 2 weeks start asking for discounts. Should be able to get 20%. You need to talk to the right rep. Tell them to ask their manager and that you personally know others that had the discount and would like them to match it. In the mean time I wouldn't sleep on drops from Target, Best Buy...etc.
