Experiences with

Livedo reticularis

Weirdly I also developed onset livedo reticularis. Anyway, my GP has mentioned if this continues I need to be referred to a specialist. But im just looking for some reassurance haha

My concern is the Pfizer Covid vaccination because it gives me a leg rash - Livedo reticularis, which worsens each time and never goes away it is not itchy but results in a very dry skin. Does anyone know if there is a different brand available? I had no problems with AZ?

I had mild occasional livedo reticularis on the upper body, legs and arms, and petechiae on the arms and upper body, headache attacks, increased thirst over months that did not react to drinking, extreme brain fog after eating (especially breakfast), and malaise after cognitive and physical efforts.

Symptoms I experience daily: livedo reticularis, pain in my shoulders, ribcage, back muscles, breast bone, hands, knees, feet. I get swelling in the ball of the foot; my whole right foot is painful while on the left foot I get pain and sweeling on the ball of the foot and heel pain.

Hi, brand new on here. I was diagnosed in July 2023 and haven't drank since. Feeling better and not on transplant list which is confusing me a little. I kind of don't know whether I will need one or if my liver recompensating means I won't ever need one. I will never drink again ever that's been my biggest

Hi all, I had a tumour removed from my liver and my gallbladder removed 3 weeks ago. Both were sent for biopsies. However, I've just had a letter through the post with a telephone appointment with my clinician to discuss my results next week. I feel quite relieved that it isn't a face to face appointment

Please don’t judge me. my partner died last year, and I never used to drink/ I just never liked it. I’m 40 now. I drank in my early 20s that’s it.
