Hi everyone

[Mags72]

Hi there just wanted to introduce myself, I'm mags and recently diagnosed with Cirrhosis 😦. But I'm in really good health at the moment. Just trying to get to grips and learning how to keep my liver happy 😁.x

Hi there and welcome. I am new on here also. I have fatty liver and due my annual bloodwork but am sure it won't be good. Scary road. There are loads of people on here that know what they are talking about. I will be taking their advice. Glad you are feeling well - that is the way to go.

Hi Mags ! Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but great news you feel well. Best way to look after your liver is to avoid drinking alcohol eat a low fat no added sugars and get plenty of fresh air and exercise balanced with plenty of rest. Avoid stressful situations where possible, and be happy 😃 👍

Hi Mags and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I’m glad your keeping well. Laura has given you plenty of good advice there. It’s important to look after yourself. I’ve had cirrhosis for 3 years now and I’m on the list, but some people live with it for much longer and manage to stay relatively healthy. Take care

Welcome mags,

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but you have taken the first and most very very important thing and that is to stop drinking so well done

I have been living with cirrhosis 10 yrs in June, i am not on any transplant list as yet, but i do see my hepatologist every 6 months or when needed,

My diet became a big turn around. Low sodium, high protein to start with, chicken, fish, lentils, loads of veg and fruit etc.. i am taking thiamine and b12 extra strong compound,

I do have osteopenia in my hip and two prolapsed discs middle to lower back so i am.in pain most days.

If ever you need any advise or help with anyything then just message me , i would be very happy to help you.

Love linda xx

Hi Linda thank you for your kind words. Sorry you live with so much pain. I take meds and go back to my liver doc in September. Last time my liver was doing well ❤ and I'm hopeful it will be even better by sept. It sure has gave me a wake-up call and I'm very very grateful for that.x

[Millie09 in reply to Mags72]

Hello Mags and welcome to our group.

You will find here, a wealth of knowledge and experience from those with their own liver disease or of supporting others with the illness.

I'm assuming that you are in the UK, so you might have a look at the British Liver Trust website and see if there are any support groups near to where you live. The website is also a brilliant source of information about living with liver disease and giving yourself a chance to live well despite your condition.

Take care,

Jim
