Morning you lovely people. ☀️ 4 months in to a decompensated diagnosis and managing reasonably well with symptoms and bloods etc. Liver nurse very happy with progress and doesn’t see any reason why things will get worse but a possibility that compensation is on the cards. no alcohol since December

Re-Introducing Myself
Good morning. I know the ones that have been on here for awhile know me but wanted to introduce myself to those newer to the site. My name is Sharon. Dancing Eyes was the nickname my husband Jimmy gave me because he said my eyes changed color and danced. I discovered Blue Faery a couple of years ago

Yellow patches on eyelids
Hi I developed yellow patches on my eyelids and under my eyes pre-transplant. Read it can be a sign of poor liver function so that makes sense, however it has got slightly worse post transplant. My liver function is excellent and cholesterol is low so I’m not sure what is causing it and my consultant

antidepressants and liver disease
I have severe liver fibrosis and have had to start taking Escitalopram for depression. My doctor has put me on 15mg but instructions and websites say patients with liver disease should be on no more than 10mg. Anyone else taking this dose or higher which has been approved by your consultant please?

Update
Hi I posted a couple of weeks ago about my brother who is currently in the QEB with liver disease. You all gave such helpful advice so i’m here with an update. Things have been up and down. A few days ago he finally got a room on a liver ward as opposed to the general ward, this has been much better

ozempic / Wegovy question
Hi. I need to lose weight having been diagnosed with cirrhosis and being significantly overweight. I will talk to my doctor about it but just wanted to ask if anyone has had experience of using the new weight loss meds on the market with cirrhosis. I understand they’re under the brand names of Ozempic

Digoxin vs Pace & Ablate?
As some already know I’ve had a hard recovery since ablation on 23/11/22. HR was on the rise again slowly from then and the severe respiratory episode went on & on. Just coming to the end of what I think is maybe the 5th antibiotic course! I’ve now been on digoxin 125mcg since 28/2/22 and following

one month post op
I am one month out from my liver transplant, and am still in horrible pain, have lost 40 pounds, of which I did not have to loose, still taking OxyContin regularly, can’t sleep, and can’t eat solid foods. Any suggestions? Feeling absolutely miserable, and NO energy.

HU and prefibrotic myelofibrosis
Recently diagnosed first with ET. put on 500mg hydroxyurea daily with platelets at 617. After bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, diagnosis changed to prefibrotic myelofibrosis. HU had brought platelets down to 270 but I suffered from bad side effects. Dr didn’t want to change med or dosage. I resisted

cirrhosis and symptoms
My husband has been monitored for liver problems for the last few years. He is a very heavy drinker and has been for a long time. I have been with him for 23 years plus. Last year he had an internal bleed though they couldn’t find where it was and was inconclusive. The consultant gastroenterologist
