Hi, I was diagnosed with the same last year and as you said “your labelled” . It’s very lonely, the family seem to think the worse.... although mine was called Liver failure I still was scarred with the same label as yourself. Since the lockdown I’ve seen no one, so I know how you feel. Even though they found that mine was due to the medication, & the hospital has taken full responsibility my family came to visit me in hospital, but they said to my consultants (she loved a drink when she was a youngster (hey that was 30yrs ago). I felt let down...... So I keep myself busy, (hobbies as I can’t work), and I let my family come to me.....and it worked... they saw I was not taking no more opiates etc, i might have a tipple once or twice every few months......

I do feel for you, be strong, take up something your interested in and see what happens.... Call people that can help (mind), they were great....

Let me know how u get on...

Wishing you all the best

Teanna
