Feeling fed up
I’ve had deranged LFTS on and off for at least 6 years now with Alt going up over 1000. Second time seeing specialist and apart from signs in liver biopsy pointing to AIH the scans don’t seem to show much. Don’t seem to get told much by Specialist and don’t seem to keep me updated. Had a MRCP on October

Transplant waiting list
My father has stage 4 liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol and has been in and out of hospital a few times because of blood in stool or vomiting blood. He has stopped drinking completely as of 6 weeks ago, I would describe his drinking as more of a habit over a long period of time as opposed to needing

INR/FIBRINOGEN
Can someone please tell me if anything else can affect INR or FIBRINOGEN levels, last year my INR was 1 on the ratio and is now 1.1 does this mean the liver is getting worse or can that figure change, it is literally just on the last part of normal now, also my FIBRINOGEN is almost double what it should

The 'Brain Energy Gap' and its possible implication on the progress of PD.
Has anyone else seen the work of Professor Stephen Cunnane on the 'brain energy gap' and its implications for PD, Alzheimers and cognitive impairment? I've put a link to one of his talks below, but to summarise: - Cognitive impairment and brain health in PD, Alzheimers, is due in part to an 'brain

Does anyone on similar meds to me for RA have Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
I've been on rituximab and Lefludomide for about ten years and all is reasonably stable. However over about five years I've developed IBS symptoms - wont repeat them here. They do limit what I can do and wonder if anyone else has suffered from them. I'm not convinced the meds are to blame incidentally

Not Cirrhosis
So many of you have watched my journey of the misdiagnosis of my wonderful wife. In the end, we now know a combination of Antibiotics destroyed her kidneys. Due to thinking she had cirrhosis, they had dosage values wrong...etc..etc. She had high billis, which was due to a medication reaction, and

Coma or Vegetative state
Hi - My brother has been in an induced coma following a stroke for 3 weeks. Every time they try to wake him they say he gets “agitated”. Also, today his case manager told me he is able to open his eyes, but when they did the light in the eyes test, there was no reflex. What does that mean? Is he officially

Private Health care for second opinion
Has anyone used private health care for a second opinion? I’m 7 weeks post Fibroscan and still nothing in writing. I had a call from a hepatologist last week. He hadn’t seen the scan either but said based on my memory of it I have Cirrhosis. I want someone to give me a proper diagnosis. Bupa have agreed

New 'cirrhosee' with reading of 75 on Richter scale! H E L P
See my bio - recently diagnosed cirrhosis with fibroscan reading of 75. Gutted!Interested to hear from those who have, over time, reduced this reading/'score'. Also keen to hear from those with associated eating disorders - e.g. gastroparesis (sluggish stomach) and best ways of managing. Experience

Diagnosis at last! Haemochromotosis?

Severe Lung Scarring from Pneumonia
Hello, I have posted about my dad who is in his late 70s in ICU for severe pneumonia here before, but here is the current situation. At the moment, he is stable and he is close to weaning off sedation completely and starting ventilator weaning (trachy) soon. His ventilator setting is O2 35%, Saturation

Ropinirole, Pramipexole and etc
Hi community, It's been years since I last wrote here as my RLS is quite mild. Few years ago it was quite under control even mild episodes. I used to take 0.25mg of Ropinirole (Adartel) in case of episode and it would work very well. I moved from London to Finland few years ago, and last year I started
