Hi.... I hope you are all well. I am asking for a friend... no honestly I am! Who has a horrible ex who has emotionally abused her and is now taking her to court to try and take her son away. I have known her a long time and sometimes we have a glass of wine together and on rare occasions when neither

Info on MIL
Hi, I haven't commented for quite a while as we are very busy looking after family with illnesses. MIL is at the moment in hospital, she was very confused and doing some bizarre things. Mil has decompensated Cirrhosis of the liver, non alcoholic. She had ascites in 2015 and had 12 litres fluid drained

I feel that my husband was not given the opportunity to go for an assessment when he first lost all the water retention and treated like a gineapig he was on 100m g of spirolactone a day and this causes the potassium levels to raise and

The big crash diet - BBC
Been watching this programme on BBC and there's a part where one of the participants is diagnosed with fatty liver due to being overweight. Apparently it affects up to a third of us. Many people only see drinking as the culprit for liver disease but I think poor diet and processed sugar in particular

Liver problems?
