Scan.

Scan at last, very afraid but have to face it. Constipation as in needing Lactulose each day or nothing happens at all. Dark urine, yellow brown stools, eyes blurred with floaters until midday. Started with feely shaky on wakening this week but still going on walks. I feel like I have walked from my happy life to hell. Praying I’m not in end stage. My poor kids, all through relaxing with a bottle of white wine. I hate it now and not had drink for over 3 months.

Thank you, just afraid it’s the end of the road. The only major symptom is constipation so praying it’s compensated and can be managed.

Try to take one step at a time and deal in the medical facts. Take care.

Don't forget to drink plenty of water to help with the constipation. Hope the scan goes well.

Thank you but only Lactulose works. It’s the only major symptom I have.

That's a very good sign then, you would be very unlikely to be anywhere near end stage or even cirrhosis with just that as your main symptom. Let us know how you get on.

What I eventually get rid of is very light though. Sorry, too much info. Urine apple juice coloured too. Hope you’re right though. Thankful for the people on this site.

Best of luck. Have you had your eyes checked? My vision deteriorated but with the correct treatment, it is slowly improving.
