It took me over 6 months after Alcoholic Hepatitis to begin to feel a slight glimmer of normality returning.
My energy levels seemed to be improving all the time and I felt I was getting a bit of a spring back in my step. I kind of assumed I was just going to keep feeling better and better.
But the last month or so I've had serious fatigue and practically zero energy.
Like I'll get up, have a coffee and make some porridge and I'm worn out and ready to go back to bed again, after more or less no exertion.
It's making me depressed too after feeling so hopeful. I feel like I've no energy to do the small things I enjoy - it's just existence and bed at the moment.
Is this just something I should expect? I'm hoping it's not the start of something ominous.

Hi Gary
I too am experiencing extreme fatigue my arms and legs ache.
I have been out of hospital over a year but it seems worse at the moment my blood shows high white blood count I don't know if this is anything to do with it, I go back to my GP soon.
But I'm knackered sorry for the language.
Hayley
wishing you well Hayley keep your chin up im sure they will get to the bottom of it and get you feeling well again. love grace xoxo
Hi Hayley
You don’t say what you were in hospital for/what happened?

Hi Miles
Triple organ failure and pneumonia.
Which resulted in a 6 week stay in ICU, hdu, and general ward.
Ended up with cirrhosis of liver, a stroke, painful joints and slight brain damage.
It's a bloody wonder I'm still here but I am 😁.
Regards
Hayley
Omg you poor thing! Triple whammy ☹️. No wonder you are knackered... so aren’t you on treatment for cirrhosis? Brother in law had 3 strokes in a year and although physically you wouldn’t know it he does has extreme difficulty finding even the most common of words - sometimes but not always.
A lot of us who have had bad HE seem to get memory loss as a result - I know I have!
Why can’t you go back to your GP now? I know the magic words liver transplant have on our sometimes recalcitrant receptionists!! So you can reel off at least 3 significant things...
Best of luck Hayley 👍

Hi Miles
I'm back on Monday for a liver scan so I will mention my fatigue then my bloods have come back normal first time in ages it could all be linked to the stroke I have a compensated liver nothing to brag about though.
I wish you and your brother in law well keep in touch.
Hayley 😃
Ah well that’s good Hayley. I mean the appointment not all the other things!
