Dear KB9988,

If you would find it useful to talk things over, our nurse-led helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm on 0800 652 7330 (excluding bank holidays)

We also facilitate a range of virtual support groups for people living with a liver condition (and their families and carers).

If you [are in the UK and] would find it helpful to speak to others with shared experience, you can register to join a group here

Best wishes

Depending on what your liver cirrhosis is caused by. For example, I have primary biliary cirrhosis. Which is an auto immune disease. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Which is an auto immune disease. So sometimes there may be more than one reason for joint pain

just a suggestion

wishing you well on your journey

Have you also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia by any chance?

My partner, who was diagnosed with acute hepatitis back in 2021 and has since made an excellent recovery, has been left with exactly the same symptoms. He has been to see his GP, who has confirmed fibromyalgia after ruling-out other possibilities. The likeliest cause is the severe shock both physically and psychologically. He also spoke with his consultant hepatologist about his symptoms, who ruled-out anything to do with his liver.
