Thanks for the suggestion Jennifer. Three years ago I had my gall bladder removed because of gall stone induced jaundice. Because of medical claims that I was faking illness I had previously experienced six years of what I now know were symptoms and test results of repeated gall stone induced liver issues. That led to my brother recalling that he had observed my skin having turned orange before my health collapsed, likely indicating that I had experienced acute liver failure due to toxic work exposures and exertional heat stress. Within a few days I experienced heat stroke at work and never recovered with the commencement of claims that I was faking. It seems likely that the combination of liver inflammation, gall bladder inflammation and adhesions, and ascites, have caused upwards pressure to restrict the movement of my diaphragm. As I have tested positive for autoimmune myopathy, myositis, I have general muscle weakness throughout my body but have speculated on issues similar to those you have discussed. The phrenic nerve is actually attached to the liver so the problems there are likely to have exacerbated respiratory issues. The problem with getting anything diagnosed has all been in trying to get physicians to investigate because of the original claims that I was faking, made by a physician who refused to accept that his diagnosis and treatment had failed regardless of other physicians opinions and statements. I have been told that I can't afford to actually receive treatment for my condition until it is actually acknowledged because of all of the legal aspects to my case.
