Reducing levothyroxine and taking HRT
I would appreciate some thoughts on whether I should reduce my Levothyroxine from 125 daily to 125 x Mon-Fri and 100 x Sat/Sun to bring TSH up a little bit. GP has agreed to this and started me on HRT patch (Evorel Conti 50) to see if that helps with the aches and pains as she thinks thyroid is treated

Has anyone every had an inexperienced tech for Fibro Scan with innacurate results?
I had a fibro scan on my liver. The technician was having a difficult time and had to call someone else in, she to could not get a reading either (they said the numbers were coming up blank) They had some good pictures and said lets just send these and see what happens. Backstory: I had a huge

Mannitol and sense of Taste/Smell
Mannitol was once quite a popular great white hope against PD, but only ever really seemed to benefit perhaps 1 in 5 at best. It did really seem to benefit me though. Given how cheap it is it is always worth a punt (I know big pharma study found no benefit, but we will agree to differ on how believable

engaging with alcohol support for transplant assessment
hiya, partner diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis 22.12.21 - has remained alcohol free since that date with comparative ease . He is being very well looked after by our local liver unit and whilst we are still hoping he may have some improvement (he is actually pretty well despite a UKMELD of 52)

Agitation awaiting liver transplant
My husband and I are constantly arguing over the smallest things. He becomes very agitated and verbally abusive. He has compensated cirrhosis and HCC. He is currently awaiting a liver transplant. Our marriage is in tatters.

Liver Transplant Pre / Post op
Just found out I need a liver transplant in two years. Non drinker, liver disease undiagnosed for 20 years but it looks like its finally packing up. Does anyone live in the Cardiff / South Wales area who may have been through this process so I can get a handle on what I've got coming my way. Only found

Immuno suppressant choice and no response to Pred treatment
Morning everyone, I posted on here a few weeks ago as my 19 year old son Adam Green had been diagnosed with AIH. Yesterday we had a follow up consultation and he was told he has Cirrhosis stage A/B. Decompensated Transplant may be the option going forwards. His body isnt responding to the 30mg Pred over

Negative then positive then Negative AMA???
I am so confused. I'm not sure if I should even be here. 4 months ago I tested negative for AMA. 2 weeks ago I came back positive. I asked to redo the test and tonight my test results came back negative. Obviously haven't spoke to my Hepatologist yet. I was diagnosed solely based on a positive AMA test

Thanks for allowing me to join your group. I have a few questions for members. First of all a short back story. I'm 43, 6 months ago I was diagnosed with Stage 3 fatty liver with NASH. I went on a clean diet lost 50 pounds and reversed my condition. The same week I was told I reversed, I was diagnosed

Heptlar for PBC
Hi, Has anyone heard or taken Heptlar manufactured by Abbot for PBC or AIH? Heptral 400mg Tablet is a medicine used for the treatment of liver disease associated with reduced bile formation (intrahepatic cholestasis). It protects the liver cells from toxins and helps the liver to perform its normal functions

Nutrient absorption- coffee, grains and alcohol
I have from time to time tried various food combinations - but a few months back tried cutting out coffee grains and alcohol at the same time and felt much better after a week and dropped some weight. I have over the past week picked this up again and with similar immediate results. It has left me

still decompensated after 5 months any hope?
my partner diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis on 22.12.21. Stopped drinking that day, 5 months later eating healthy high protein low salt, doing everything he has been asked. At the start sodium was dangerously low so he couldn't take water tablets - now his sodium is back within normal levels whilst

Baffled
I have pulled back from level 4 cirrhosis with ascites and jaundice as well as two bad bleeds and was doing well. I then developed a pregnant stomach again ( I'm 60) drumlike, tight, uncomfortable so I assumed ascites and resumed spironolactone. No effect. Had a US scan on Monday- no fluid found! Has
