Morning gone fishing 🎣........ I'm afraid that you can't get rid of Cirrhosis it's scar tissue. However you can turn the stages of Cirrhosis around. Like decompensated to compensated. You can live a normal healthy life when compensated. If you have a small amount of Cirrhosis do not worry. Katie will know the percentages before it becomes a problem. Hope you are feeling alright (symptoms wise) Do you know what stage you are?Danny x

As above, once you have it you have it unfortunately. Think of it like a tree that survived a forest fire - it can start to grow again but will forever be scared by what it went through.

Read some of my posts to see how you can still have a positive outcome despite the diagnosis.

Agree with the other replies. I have cirrhosis. It was diagnosed in March 21. It’s nearly a year ago now, but I still feel like it’s a new diagnosis! I was very ill in hospital with a deep rooted infection when I was diagnosed. I had no idea I had liver disease. So it came as a shock. The cause of mine was alcohol. So most importantly I knocked that on the head. I changed my diet, exercised more once I was well enough and generally looked after myself. The effect of all that is that I still have cirrhosis....that isn’t going anywhere, but I feel incredibly well. I live a normal life. If you walked passed me in the street you’d have no idea I had liver disease. I sometimes get a bit fatigued but normally when I’ve done too much. The liver is an amazing organ, if you look after it, then it can bounce back.
