Hi,
Bit worrying, I have just been diagnose with Cirrhosis, been told by the hospital that i will be injected everyday to protect from further damage, best off all, I only drink a few beers a week, I do have a vitamin B3 issue, whereas I do not make it, plus type 2 diabetes, my world has fell apart now, I have had not drink since being diagnose, i am scared to eat, drink now.
Regards
Rob
Hello,
Welcome to the forum, you will find lots of help and advice here from people in similar circumstances.
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis and it was a huge shock and I found it difficult to absorb.
The liver is a remarkable thing and needs love and care. Have you been told at what stage of cirrhosis you have? If you are compensated then you can make progress in improving your health, even if you are decompensated you need to take really good care of yourself.
Please listen to everything that your doctors tell you and hopefully you have someone close to share the situation, it is a huge help to have support around you.
You need to keep eating and drinking, remain abstinent from alcohol and try and exercise to keep your strength.
Follow all the advice given to you and excellent information can be found on the Trust site:-

Please let us know how you are getting on, someone should be able to answer your questions.
Best wishes,
Mark.
Thanks Mark, I am in for scan on 4th July, so hopefully things will come to light soon, i keep you posted, at the doctors next week to discuss the needle thing, although i think this is to do with the Diabetes as well as liver
It’s probably a good idea to discuss the diet when you are at the doctors next week, I would have thought that cirrhosis and diabetes follow a very similar diet regime. Here is the Liver advice:-

Good luck with the scan.
