Terrified

Does the constant fear and shakeness I wake up with every day after being diagnosed with Cirrhosis with no symptoms and normal Liver functions ever go?

Hi,

Have you discussed your fear and shakiness with your doctor?

Additionally if you would like a supportive chat you can also call our nurse team on the helpline Mon to Fri 10am to 3pm 0800 652 7330

Take care.

Thank you I did speak to a lovely lady at the Trust who felt my GP could help me.Sadly the GP is a call centre at present with Covid restrictions and I continue to be a nervous wreck not knowing what the future holds

If you can establish who your clinical consultant is in charge of your care is you could consider requesting an appointment. It is really important that you have time to ask important questions about your diagnosis.

Also, maybe the GP practice manager can facilitate a GP appointment? Good luck.

I have this. I get better as the day goes on. Insecurity. I’m better in company. You will be fine. The people walking round with scarred livers, still having their wine are the ones who should worry. You will never get to the point if no return. Relax and enjoy life, I know how you feel though. Big hugs xxxxxxx

I cant function and see everything as the last time.The way the medical profession has dealt with me is disgraceful but blame it on Covid

Hopefully I can reverse the problem and face the world again xx

I can’t get diagnosis but have symptoms. Please don’t get depressed like that, you have found your problem years before you need to worry. You sound a bit like me reading a book and enjoying wine, simple pleasures but obviously more dangerous than what we thought. No more for me and I’m sure you too. I would see doc and tell him how you feel.

It's nice to find someone who understands xxx

I do sweet, I have had normal LFT and US scan but I know I shouldn’t be so constipated, hair loss, funny vision and now started with itchy little spots on ankles. I’ve loads of energy, appetite excellent nerves permitting, sleeping not bad but too scared to get out of bed in the mornings. Always had a fear of being really ill and don’t know what to think. I wish I’d had a scan a few years ago and then like you I would have found trouble years ago. They say fatty liver but I think it’s a lot worse. If I could send you a private message I would, but I can’t do it for some reason.

No it is NOT. Completely different thing. She’s suffering from nerves. She’s got a lot of living to do before she meets her maker!
