Hi everyone, I had a transplant in March 1997 when I was 6 years old (I’ll be 28 in November) and for the last couple of years my lfts have been raised and at one point I was very, very jaundiced. I was put back on the list in January this year. I don’t remember much of my first transplant and I didn’t take much in at the assessment so I’d love to hear people’s experiences of both being on the list and the transplant itself.
On a more positive note other than the blip I had being jaundiced for around 6 months I’ve lived a normal healthy life and have had 2 successful pregnancies also. My current symptoms aren’t awful either, a bit of pain around my liver and in my legs which the doctors think is due to the varices I have from hypertension and feeling quite tired. I hope that little bit helps anyone waiting for their first liver feel more positive about their life post transplant.
Thanks to anyone that reads this 🙂
I am relatively new to liver disease and don't know anything about transplants..sorry. However you have made me feel more optimistic about the future with your transplant story. Good luck and keep well. Deb
Thank you 🙂
