Thanks David for your uplifting jokes, life shouldnβt be too serious when everything around us looks so serious!
Hope you all had a blessed Easter weekend.
My wife and I were so happy and full of joy despite all our trials and tribulations, because we celebrated the real reason for Easter {JESUS}
Our prayer is that those who donβt know the Love that our Saviour Jesus has for you will hear Him calling out to the lost in this dark world. All you need to do is confess your sin and ask Jesus into your life. He loves you with an unconditional love. Jesus is the Christ, and there is no other way to our Father in heaven except through Him. Put your trust in Him and let your life be guided by His love.
Back to business; our liver is a wonderful organ that puts up with a lot of abuse! Itβs amazing how long we can survive with this damaged organ. I had hep. c for over 40 years, and I am still here after successful treatment the second time around. I thank all the wonderful medical team; but I could not have done it without my faith in Jesus.
Glad you like the jokes.......a bit naughty of me, and totally off topic.
You are literally preaching to a believer, but good to hear anyway πππ, Our Church are now having services using a video-conferencing program for Sunday services, and a prayer group, which works well.
I have F4 cirrhosis, and constant capsule pain, and just recently sciatica, and as the pain relief is only partially successful, I call on the Lord for help, which often happens.
Hi David, thank you that Iβm preaching to a believer!
Iβm not sure what F4 cirrhosis is, but it sounds nasty. Iβm glad the pain relief is helping partially.
I want to thank you for your input on the forum, it really is helpful.
Iβm rather concerned about the health of my liver at the moment. I am having symptoms of itchy hands, feet and shins. If I scratch the itchy parts too much I erupt in tiny red spots (any comments on this would be great).
I was due to have a blood test to make sure the hep c virus was cleared, but since the Covid 19 scare the blood test was cancelled. I looked on line and discovered with 2% of people successfully treated the virus can re-occur. This is quite rare, but not impossible.
Blessings to everyone on the forum. Looking forward to getting to know you more.
F4 cirrhosis is where the scarring, and therefore function of the liver is severely impaired. It can be managed though, and is not a death sentence. I am living proof of that, and my cirrhosis is now compensated, which means, its just about able to perform it's functions with the help of my spleen. That is why my spleen is nearly twice it's normal size.
I had really bad itching, mostly on lower legs and ankles, and used to scratch them raw sometimes.I found that keeping them cool helps somewhat....ice packs for example, and calamine lotion is good too.
At night, I pull the duvet off them so they don't get hot.
I am in the extremely vulnerable group for several conditions, and never leave the house just now, except for clapping for the NHS.
We have Church services using Zoom, and prayer meetings also, so our faith needs are met.
God Bless, and Stay Safe,
David
Thanks David for explaining the type of cirrhosis you have.
Pleased to hear your cirrhosis isnβt a death sentence.
Thanks for tips on the itch problem.
We also have church service and prayer/Bible study using Zoom.
