Hi, been a while since last here! Had a Tummy Drain, 10ltr removed, felt better- 3 days later had HE episode, lasting 2 days, now drowsy, sleep a lot; is this normal?Also muscles very weak, unable to stand without Carer Support. Mind not thinking straight, difficult to say what I'm thinking! Is this typical of HE?
