Liver issues and leg pain?
Fairly random question but while I wait for a drs appointment I thought I'd ask....I am awaiting a liver transplant for PSC and I'm getting those dulcit aches in my side that usually indicate imminent cholangitis, but! Whenever this happens I get really bad sharp aching down the outside of my upper leg

Not exactly ‘in the pink’
Hello everyone. Are there any people out there, that cough up pinkish phlegm. It’s only after lying down for 2 or 3 hours. I’m not quite sure if I’m starting to develop heart failure. I’ve been taking anticoagulants since 2014 and changed onto Apixaban about 16 months ago. Thanks in advance.

Ambroxol: Experimental treatment for PD
Does anyone know anything about the clinical trials going on in the UK with Ambroxol as a treatment for PD (a repurposed cough medicine)? The preliminary results look good. I understand that results have been released but I can't find It. Please reply if you have info. Thanks

Abnormal liver results
Hi I’ve had raised ALT, AST and GGT for circa 15 years now. My ALT has been up and down between 55 and 90, the AST around the mid 40s and the GGT between 90 and 200. I am 56, overweight, but with a muscly physique due to several years of resistant training. I have drank alcohol all my life and feel

Follow up Endoscopy for Cirrhosis
My husband has his first follow up endoscopy next week after having Decompensated Cirrhosis almost 2 years ago (was meant to be sooner but had to chase up). He had 2 varices which they put bands on initially (one burst after food poisoning, they were surprised they didn’t find more). He is really anxious

25 years of daily heavy drinking
hi, I have been one of the lucky ones, and I’m not writing this to gloat, I’ve read many of the stories on here about the effects of drinking, and it has been through reading these and re-assessing my own lifestyle that I was able to finally go to the doctor and tell him the truth about my drinking.

Update on my Cirrhosis
Good morning all. Just a quick update on my cirrhosis diagnosis caused by alcohol, smoking and obesity. I'm 18 months Alcohol and Cigarettes free now and lost nearly 3 stone through stopping drinking alcohol, smoking, eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise. I feel a lot healthier now than I have

What is the Kpa score on a Fibroscan that indicates cirrhosis?
I recently had a Fibroscan and had a score of 9 which has freaked me out a bit, so I’ve tried to cut back on drinking and eat healthily. I’ve seen my GP for a follow up and he didn’t seem too concerned, I thought I was close to cirrhosis so am pretty scared, as I thought the Kpa for cirrhosis was 10

Mental health and cirrhosis
Me and my partner have together for a year now. Started as friends, knew from the word go,he had cirrhosis. But it didn't change anything, still wanted to form a relationship with him. He had a call from a liver nurse today. She was very blunt and matter of fact. She triggered him again. She talked about

cirrhosis or not??
I was asked to take part in a Fatty Liver clinical research study and had to go through a number of pre tests to establish I was suitable for the study. After many blood tests/fibro scans etc I had a Liver Biopsy. Unfortunately, this showed I had Cirrhosis of the Liver and I was unable to go forward

Carvedilol
Hi, I've had my second (annual) gastroscopy since my Cirrhosis was diagnosed last year in February. The results were pretty much as the first one, so no change. The doctor who performed this test, different to the first one, suggested that my GP put me on Carvedilol. GP prescribed it and I have now

Private health with PBC
Hi there - I have a very specific question related to anyone who has PBC, has private health insurance and may have developed a new diagnosis later down the line eg. Liver cancer. How was your experience with private health dealing with the cancer and PBC? Did it mean treatment for that cancer was
