Thank you, it’s been a stressful 6 months, but hoping as bloods and Uss and now repeat Fibro is all good, that the first one was a duff scan 🙏🏼

Fantastic news for you I imagine that's a real weight off your shoulders. Delighted for you 😁My son's first one was 10 because we were unaware he had AIH, then his second was 17 so we were very shocked. He's only 19 and is tall and thin and fit and doesn't drink so there's not much we can do. He's been taking all his meds religiously. He did eat before his last one because it wasn't planned so I'm hoping against hope it was a duff one also!

I really hope he’s okay, it’s such a worry, and seems to take forever to get things sorted

Thank you.. it's just difficult to believe it would progress that quickly while on the meds especially when bloods are always great. I've decided I don't like fibroscans 😁 (unless they're good news obviously!)

Fantastic news. I would be very happy with that reading too. I wonder why they got such a high reading the first time.

Good result but always treat you liver with respect from now on.You had your warning and your liver does not like your previous lifestyle.

Next time it will get sick faster and might not recover again!

Noted! I will modify things from now on, I’m a bit of a weekend party drinker, but equally given bloods and USS were okay and now Fibroscan, it could equally of been a duff scan

Definition of madness.

To keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.

in reply toRoy1955

Not at all, I’m don’t drink at all through the week, literally just a sat a night, like must of the population, but however maybe try and not to drink as much

That is such wonderful news, it must seem like a huge weight has been lifted and it proves that medicine is still not an exact science.

I had my diagnosis over two years ago based on a fibroscan reading of 17, admittedly the consultant said the blood results were supportive of diagnosis. I’m waiting for another fibroscan that was requested in November. Hopefully good news when it happens.
