Symptoms suddenly taking a turn for the worse
Hello everyone. I am new to the forum, and have some questions to ask, but also want to share my RLS story, as well as some things that I have found helpful in living with RLS. I have had RLS for over 40 years. At first it was fairly easily controlled with a good run or long walk, and later with magnesium

Unrelated to Parkinson's
Prior to 1980 about the only relativly common form of thiamin was thiamin hcl and then most vitamins and enritched food products changed to thiamin mononitrate. While thiamin HCL is a wonderful form of thiamin for 99.99 % of the population for some reason I can't take it. When I take thiamin HCL in

Covid, AKI and liver damage
Has anyone else had Covid and ended up with liver damage, acute kidney injury and nearly died from kidney and liver nigh on failure. I am just wondering if Covid can worsen internal organs, cause double pneumonia and I end up in a coma for nearly 5 weeks. The main question I am trying to find out is

Hubby recently diagnosed but virtually at the end stage
Hi there. I’m not sure where to start. So my hubby was diagnosed with non alcoholic liver cirrhosis and spent 3 weeks in hospital. Half on ICU where I work and then half on the liver ward. Despite being on diagnosed 4 weeks ago he is quite far down the line of the condition. Jaundice ascities sepsis

nhs job scared colleagues will find out I have cirrhosis.

Green poo - any connection with Liver disease
Hi All. Will keep it brief. Ended up in hospital last year due to my alcohol consumption (heavy for years, daily for the last 3). Borderline cirrhosis. Lost my job Stayed sober well into this year but stress of not getting a new job and debt recently drove me to relapse. It was a heavy one - horrendous

Elevated ELF but 'normal' Fibroscan pressure - how?
Hi All: I'm a 50-something male with a fatty liver. Recently I was given an ELF test and it returned a result at the lowest end of the 'severe fibrosis' range. A follow-up Fibroscan gave a reading in the upper normal range for liver stiffness. How can the disparity be explained? Do I give more credence

Change in body shape post transplant
I am now 10m post transplant, and all going well. Not perfect, but well. I find my body shape has changed a lot, I am much more bulky in my upper abdomen, above my navel to chest. I expected some swelling while my body got to terms with the new liver, but even after this time, I just seem so BIG

endoscopy
Hi all I was diagnosed a while ago with “possible borderline cirrhosis” through an ultrasound, blood tests and a fibroscan score of 20. The bloods are all normal and the consultant just says it’s hard to tell if I definitely have cirrhosis or not. My question is, I keep reading here that people are

Hi all!
Hi Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease (was told 3 years ago it was unclassified, they were leaning more towards Crohns at the time) Since the beginning of that diagnosis, I had high liver function test results which were very high during my IBD flare ups, things

Ammonia Level
Hello! I am writing to ask about ammonia level 104. My family member has cirrhosis and previous Hep C. Currently they are in the hospital due to elevated ammonia levels. When the ammonia level rises it causes extreme impairment and lethargy. Two weeks ago they had scan of liver and it came back nothing

Confused and stressed

She had spoken to the specialist whom l still have yet to meet and said they are not an option for my varices suggested l undertake a soft food diet. Feeling bolder about asking questions l said what is that. She
