Pressure from doctors to for feeding tube or trachea
My friend is still on a ventilator. The doctor is saying no more Covid, no more pneumonia. His parents are being told he has Covid brain. His eyes r open but brain won’t signal lungs to breathe? Doc says get a permanent feeding tube? It’s only been 6 days since sedation drugs left.

🥱🥱🥱 and sleep!
Hi guys. I have just had a liver transplant and I am struggling to sleep. I seem to wake every 4 hours and cat nap when fatigue kicks in. I have a fare idea that it is the medication. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do without taking sleeping tablets. Can I just say, I'm taking vitamin

Is running hard on the liver?
Could running hurt my liver? Been going through some liver stuff…I’m ok by test standards but pain and digestive pain are still killing me…took a month off running and came back to it yesterday…the rest of the day felt like it was more inflamed and generally felt kinda sick. Am wondering if I made it

Pain on left side
So after years of being dismissed by doctors and fighting tooth and nail for ct scans, ultrasounds and a fibroscan, I am still no where closer to a definitive diagnosis despite pain being ever present. As of late pain has started on the left side of my abdomen. This is a new development so I got a scan

Decompensated
Panicking :( I was admitted to hospital 19 months ago with jaundice and ascites, diagnosed with a decompensated liver. I got drained and stayed in for maybe a fortnight ? (sorry my brain is a total fuzz). I've been booze free since the day I was admitted and my liver doc says that my function tests

Long overdue 'anti alcohol report'
Morning, I hope you find this relevant. It's been seen as a watershed proclamation. The so called benefits of small amounts alcohol (especially wine) have been touted for centuries when it comes to cardiovascular health. Four days ago the World Heart Federation officially changed the message. Unequivocally

I suspect I have a pbc. Where to begin? Indy.
Not Diagnosed. Just googling and it really seems this is what I must have. I had esophagus cancer 13 years ago. And I feel this has stressed my liver. Never had a drop of alcohol? Thank goodness.

Progression of liver disease
From fatty liver do you always progress to hepatitis and then possibly cirrhosis? Or can you go straight from fatty liver to cirrhosis? I couldn’t find anything online that answered this question. Thank you

Are liver issues pushing me into becoming diabetic
Hi Today I had a zoom session with the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, my last bloods score was 48 (on the diabetic metric), I have pre diabetes and I am right on the boundary for the full type 2 scenario. In this zoom session they talked about blood pressure (mine is actually rather low not high

Some clarity please!
Like most people who’ve posted here, I was (and still am) creeped-out by my fibroscan scan results in December 2021 of F4 cirrhosis. I’m told I’m well-compensated and haven’t experienced any symptoms or abnormal blood labs except for very high liver enzymes. My question is: does the natural progression

LFT results
I recently had LFT done. All came back in normal range except my albumin was 39 albeit in range that’s the lowest I’ve had. I’ve been worried about the amount I’ve drunk over the years. Always wine approx 30 units a week. I do not have any symptoms. I’ve read you can have cirrhosis withoutsymptoms
