I've had ongoing intermittent upper abdominal pain for years however since September it's been constant, sometimes more severe and with nausea. Docs initially thought gallstones but ultrasound & MRCP were both clear and now they have suggested Sphincter of Oddi. However I don't know if my symptoms fit. I've listed them below:

Pain in middle of abdomen above belly button but below sternum - constant and doesn't seem to change after eating food (for last 2 months the pain gets worse during night)

nausea

fatigue

dry and burning mouth

itchy feet and side during night

periods of overheating mostly at night

hair loss

abdomen swells sometimes and feels full of liquid sloshing around

have had elevated liver enzymes in blood tests, levels fluctuate corresponding to the amount of pain I'm in

Does anyone with SOD have these symptoms?
