Bleeding in eye
I have a popped blood vessel in my eye. I did not do anything to cause it. Can that mean I have a low platelet count? Had anyone for this due to liver disease?

Assessment at the Royal Free, etc
At the start of this week my partner had his transplant assessment at the Royal Free. It was a really positive experience. Because we came from Bristol we stayed in the on-site hotel, which is great! There was a lot of waiting for tests and for the medics to be available. I couldn't stay on the unit

Covid -19, still a big risk for some - 2.
I posted this tread up some three months ago just as a warning to others who like me are immunosuppressed. At this time, there are estimated to be around 44% of organ transplanted people who still didn't produce any Covid antibodies. Some of you will remember Jenny who use to frequent this forum, Jenny

Organ Donation
Hi, I would like some advice / opinions if possible. I would like to enrol in the live kidney donation programme. My only concern is 'what if my brother needs it'. He was hospitalised with decompensated cirrhosis in 2019 and was given a 20% chance of survival. He miraculously recovered and is now compensated

Helpless.
My brother is an alcoholic, his liver has been severely damaged as a result and we nearly lost him last year. He’s been told he’s not to drink any alcohol but after about 6-8 weeks after he came out of hospital he started drinking again. He lives in London and I live in South Wales, I’ve only seen him

Feeling a bit stressed
I’m in the stressful position of selling my house and buying a new house closer to my family. The end point will be worth it, but I’m in a difficult chain and I’m worried it’s going to fall through. The sale is the result of a long term relationship breakdown which makes it even more messy as my ex partner

Ultrasound and repeat fibroscan
Hi All, just an update. I had my ultrasound on my liver and I have been told it was clear, as were my blood tests. I had already had a fibroscan a few weeks ago, after not drinking alcohol for 4 weeks, and it read 7.5kpa. I advised the consultant at this meeting that I had drank a lot of water and

I need the rest
You sound exactly like a mirror of myself. I agree, the augmentation and withdrawal are horrible. I take Gabapentin, 600 mg. about 7 p.m. and 900 mg. at 9 p.m. About 8:30 I take 100 mg. Tramadol. I am weaning off my last .5 mg. Ropinirole and usually take that at 7:15 p.m. I had about 1 week of beautiful
