Liver failure, given 3 months to live
Hi , my best friends son is dying from liver failure, they are trying another 5 day IV treatment in hopes his liver will respond, I guess my question is has anyone had any success using BPC -157 ? I'm taking it for my chronic pain conditions & I am grasping at straws trying to help my friend, her son

Re-Introducing Myself
Good morning. I know the ones that have been on here for awhile know me but wanted to introduce myself to those newer to the site. My name is Sharon. Dancing Eyes was the nickname my husband Jimmy gave me because he said my eyes changed color and danced. I discovered Blue Faery a couple of years ago

Yellow patches on eyelids
Hi I developed yellow patches on my eyelids and under my eyes pre-transplant. Read it can be a sign of poor liver function so that makes sense, however it has got slightly worse post transplant. My liver function is excellent and cholesterol is low so I’m not sure what is causing it and my consultant

Do you carry on taking multivitamins like Pregnacare for pregnancy after 12w or do you pick and choose the vitamins you like? I am 17w today and my recent batch of Pregnacare ran out, I've been taking them for years... I know you don't have to but my midwife said it contains all the good stuff so if

antidepressants and liver disease
I have severe liver fibrosis and have had to start taking Escitalopram for depression. My doctor has put me on 15mg but instructions and websites say patients with liver disease should be on no more than 10mg. Anyone else taking this dose or higher which has been approved by your consultant please?

ozempic / Wegovy question
Hi. I need to lose weight having been diagnosed with cirrhosis and being significantly overweight. I will talk to my doctor about it but just wanted to ask if anyone has had experience of using the new weight loss meds on the market with cirrhosis. I understand they’re under the brand names of Ozempic

Fibroccan vs MRI scan of liver
Hello I've had an MRI small bowel scan which reported that I have hepatic steatosis. What does a Fibroscan of the liver pick up that an MRI scan does not?

one month post op
I am one month out from my liver transplant, and am still in horrible pain, have lost 40 pounds, of which I did not have to loose, still taking OxyContin regularly, can’t sleep, and can’t eat solid foods. Any suggestions? Feeling absolutely miserable, and NO energy.

HU and prefibrotic myelofibrosis
Recently diagnosed first with ET. put on 500mg hydroxyurea daily with platelets at 617. After bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, diagnosis changed to prefibrotic myelofibrosis. HU had brought platelets down to 270 but I suffered from bad side effects. Dr didn’t want to change med or dosage. I resisted
