Hi to all in Health Unlocked

[Jam_Tart]

Hi, I'm Anne and I'm new here. Over 3 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 3 NASH. I'm type 2 diabetic and after routine blood tests at my GP showed concerns for my liver I was sent to hospital where a biopsy confirmed my diagnosis. I'm living in Birmingham.

Hi Anne

Welcome to this lovely forum of funny, hilarious but also serious team of great people who will be at you beck and call most of the time.... Joking.

Hi Anne and welcome to the forum. I have been where you are with NASH and diabetes type 2. I am at present nearly 11 months post transplant and after 20+ years of Diabetes type 2, I was told a few months ago that I am now in remission. The members of this forum have a wide range of liver problems and are able to discuss their own personal experiences which can be of help to other on here. I found this site when I was roughly a month post transplant and wish that I had known about it long before. There are some very knowledgeable people on here if you have any questions. Very best wishes. Alf

Hi Anne and I add my welcome

I am not one of the very knowledgeable people on here that Alf mentioned. But Alf and I have had very similar experiences and TPs within days of each other. My cirrhosis though was alcohol related.

So whilst I can’t be of help specifically I do wish you all the best and hope you continue to get good advice on here - I’m sure you will!

I had NASH and cirrhosis resulting from type 2 diabetes. This led to me getting a succession of tumours on my liver. I had a transplant nearly 9 months ago. Aside from some some minor issues the medics are very happy with my progress. I hope that things go well for you. Everyone says it but try to stay positive.

[Jam_Tart in reply to Oldred]

Thanks. Not been long at all since your transplant, good to hear the medics are happy with your progress x

Ho Jam Tart

Firstly love your nickname ! 🤣

I originate from Birmingham, the posh part near Edgbaston Cricket Ground ! Harborne which is opposite the QE Hospital!

Sorry to read about your illness! If I can cheer you up in anyway let me know !

Take care in the meantime!

[Jam_Tart in reply to Hidden]

Good to meet you! I'm under the QE for my liver. I live in Kings Norton. Love, Anne x

[Hidden in reply to Jam_Tart]

Hi Anne

Lovely to hear from you! Sorry I meant to add that my Harborne comment was a joke! It wasnt a posh area when I lived there, my family were very poor!,

Cheers for your location too!

Maybe one day we may meet 😁. To 😁. (Face)

Hope everything is going well for you at the QE ?

Take care

[Jam_Tart in reply to Hidden]

No problem Trish. What is your reason for being on here, do you have liver trouble? x

[Hidden in reply to Jam_Tart]

Hi Jam Tart

Since last July I've been having monthly blood tests for possible non alcoholic PBC following a routine blood test!

I've undergone numerous scans! CT MRI Fibroscan Ultra sounds plus camera up and down! Polyps found and removed. Inflammed Esophagus detected! and medication for life sorted.

Healthy life style and exercise kicked back in and so far I've lost 3 stone and my bloods have gone back to normal again after many many years of being told by my GP I have a drinking issue!

I see my consulant again on the 8th of October so i may get discharged based on last months bloods.

Thanks for asking !

Hi JT, Glad you posted. I started with NASH in 2002. I was also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in about 2009. Lasy year I had a transplant and after being put on insulin initially post op, my blood sugars meant I was able to go on oral medication then come off all meds for diabetes as I too am in remission with HbA1c of 32 which is in normal range. Good luck with whatever your future holds x

[Jam_Tart in reply to janet1953]

Thanks for your welcome. Good to hear you're doing well after transplant andcoming off the diabetic meds x

[Smyally]

[Jam_Tart in reply to Smyally]

Thank you! Be good to get to know a few folk on here x

[Yellowsydney]

Hi there, I had NASH and was later diagnosed with t2 diabetes. I had transplant may 2017, my story is on British liver trust website and a video. I try to spread the word about NASH as much as I can as very few have heard of it. If I can be of any help just shout.

Hello my darling Anne x

I didn't know you were having problems again I wish you had told me 😊

You know where I am if you need me xx

[Jam_Tart in reply to jojokarak]

Hi JoJo, didn't know you were on here. It's same problem as in first place, nothing has changed. I can't get myself motivated into losing weight, I keep feeling miserable about the whole situation and then still end up feeding my face ……. xxx

[Bootandall]

Hi Jam,

I'm looking forward to seeing you here! I've got cirrhosis from Hep C virus after blood transfusion given during chemotherapy. Also morbidly obese, which has led to a fatty liver.

[Jam_Tart in reply to Bootandall]

Hi, all of you are making me feel welcome x

[Marydel63]

[Jam_Tart in reply to Marydel63]
