Is the support offered by GPs in the British NHS acceptable or are there aspects that need better training and education on liver conditions
Today I saw a GP, it was not my GP, my GP is on long term sickness leave. Yesterday I tried to see a GP but failed as I was allocated a 'nurse practitioner' for the third consecutive time in the last 10 weeks. I insisted on seeing a GP. What I am going to describe are my views and opinions on how the

Dizziness?
Hi all, my question is does anyone else suffer from dizziness having Cirrhosis of the liver? I was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver last year, just recently I have suffered from dizziness and do not know if this is a link to this. Would be great to have feedback on this. Thanks.

Ketamine and psychological therapy can help heavy drinkers abstain for longer, a new clinical trial shows
Although this is a liver site, alcohol abuse has long been the cause of many long-liver journeys for so many people. I have often referred to alcohol abuse as there being two types of drinkers. Firstly, there is the person who drinks because they want to. But secondly, there is the person who now has

Milk thistle alters thyroid hormone transport
Milk thistle (and extracts) have long been recommended, uncritically, for those with thyroid issues, especially if they seem to have liver problems. This new article is long and detailed - and questions its safety and the effects it might have. [i] [/i] [i]

Covid positive and liver damage?
Hi all I’ve just tested positive for covid. Was due to have a ct scan tomorrow but obviously had to cancel. This has been rebooked for 2 weeks time. My liver bloods all came back normal the other day but I still feel I must have caused some damage with the amount I was drinking and I understand bloods
