Hi Startlight

Sorry for not spotting your message before. I guess like all of us who come to this site you are going through a difficult time.

I also guess you are struggling in what you feel able to talk about so please let me tell you a bit about me.

I am 59 years old. I have a fatty liver and it is behaving like it has cirrhosis but although the fibroscan shows it the ultrasound doesn't. I was scared when I thought it was cirrhosis but had to think about what else it could be. My only answer I could come up with is that due to a spinal cord injury I had 3.5 years ago my liver like my bowels and bladder are not working as well as they could. That means my kidneys are also struggling but as long as I drink plenty of boiled water and some cups of tea which I love ( the tea not the water) the kidneys have only given my doctor a few sleepless nights. My diet due to various lifestyle issues and prescription drugs have along with the injury helped to put me where I am now. It didn't help that before my spinal cord injury I had a spinal compression in that area for about 8 years.

I can only walk a bit now so I don't do as much exercise as I should because it is really painful and the messages in my spine go very unfunny.

Other than that I work part-time. Some days are was than others. I'm currently having a short break in north Devon. The hard part is being reasonably good with my diet in an area where the food is gorgeous. I am trying to lose weight. I have lost a bit but the amount I can now only eat due to my lack of exercise is a see food don't eat diet. It is horrible.

Christmas will be difficult so I deliberately chose a meal my family love but I'm not keen on curry. We will have a couple of types. But that means I don't get to want to eat a lot.

Take care get back to me for just a chat.

Hey Starlight. I’m guessing you are quite young. We’re not all techno savvy with the lingo of young people. Just saying hello doesn’t always result in a reply but.... hellooooo. Hope you are ok and that any issues you are battling can be sorted soon xx tell us about yourself xx

[19581979]

Hey Sarah

We are all young on here, just some like me have bodies that have been around a lot longer than my brain thinks it has. My brain thinks I'm still a kid of about 8, especially when we had the snow. I really wanted to go build a snowman. My body in actual age is 59 but when I wake up feels about 95.

So like you I'm kind of hoping Startlight hasn't given up on us and accepts age is just a number on here and that we will try to help each other regardless of age, gender etcetera . As you know a lot of people on here are really supportive and don't blame anyone for why they got liver problems. We just know we each need a bit of support to cope.

I think we are probably coming up to one of the hardest times of the year and I have to be honest as I need to lose some weight the meal we are having is curry because I'm not keen on it, but the family love it. I see that as a win for everyone. Much better for me than a turkey and trimmings where I will want the cranberry jelly, cauliflower cheese, roast parsnips and carrots and lots of Christmas pudding and mince pies for afters. As you can tell my tastebuds are getting into the idea and that will be an extra kilo just thinking about it.
