I have several blood test results related to my liver, including elevated AST and ALT levels, and a CT scan showing fatty liver. I also have two autoimmune disorders: diabetes type 1 and vitiligo. What do these results mean, and what is my prognosis?

Over the last year, I have experienced trembling in my left arm, and now my right arm too. I also forget things a lot. I take sodium valproate for epilepsy and have been in three bad accidents. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have been experiencing abdominal pain for over five years, initially in the area where my ribs meet, which felt like a gnawing burning pain and was accompanied by painful hiccups. I was diagnosed with an irregular z-line and a small hiatal hernia but no ulcer, and despite trying various medications and supplements, the pain has persisted and moved to just above my belly button. I also have a fatty liver, nausea, constipation, and the pain often makes me feel hungry. What could be causing this pain, and what further steps should I take to address it?

How do I differentiate between a diverticulitis flare-up and gastroenteritis, and how can I ensure my doctor is not misdiagnosing my symptoms as gastroenteritis or the stomach flu when it might actually be a severe case of diverticulitis requiring medication?
