The mind of an alcoholic
Hi all I am an alcoholic, I have liver cirrhosis and a TIPS stent and want to get sober…went to hospital to try and get a detox last Sunday, waited 12 hrs in A&E and they said the NHS do no have the funding or recognise alcoholism as an illness. I wanted to detox so I could go to AA meetings It’s

Is carvedilol making you cold?
I recently had my Carvedilol increased to 6.25mg twice a day. Lately, I am freezing to the bone. I turn my heating up and up and am still cold when everyone else says its like a sauna. I just wondered if anyone else has this? It could also be my recent addition of diabetes medication, Sitagliptin. Never

Enlarged Prostate
I have an enlarged prostate and I am trying to determine if I should be taking medicines or have a procedure such as TURP. I would like to get some experiences of people that have taken Flomax or other medicines to reduce the prostate size. I have an allergy to sulfa, what makes me a little nervous about

ultrasound result
Hello, me again! So my partner has had his letter telling his ultrasound result. It says that there is 24mm irregular area withing the left lobe of his liver. It also says that this could be nothing more than focal fat or a cancer. He now is going to have an urgent MRI. I am so scared now. After

good morning everyone. Saw my doctor the other day and I am so confused. He said I have fatty liver but not liver disease. What does he mean
I haven’t got much faith in my doctor really as he has overlooked my enlarged bile duct in the past. I noticed the report so I requested another ultrasound 12 months later. The size had stayed the same but they noticed fatty liver. The doctor isn’t concerned at all but I am having problems dealing with

Ascites and edema gone. Belly remains.
Hope all of you are well. Quick question. Have any of you had ascites substantially decline and yet your belly remains hard and round? Will this ever go away? Walking and exercising strenuously. Lifting weights , sit-ups and walking approximately 10 miles a week. Eating much healthier. Haven’t drink

Husband with Cirrhosis
Hi all. I’m new to this group and after some help. My husband is in alcoholic recently diagnosed with Cirrhosis after an internal bleed, bruising, fatigue and spider veins on his upper body. He’s an alcoholic. He’s in total denial about it all and is still drinking every day (about 2 cans of Stella)

Finally some progress
Those who followed our Journey, know this is such a painful process of grief. Two weeks ago, the hospital wrote it would not change the factual information in my wife's chart. In her chart it had been written she had Biopys proven Nash Cirrhosis, which led doctors looking at ultrasounds that said

Cirrhosis fully reversed.
It's been quite a while since I last posted. It's been 3 years since I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and and it's 6 months now since the very doctors who diagnosed me with cirrhosis confirmed that it is fully recovered and ran fibroscan twice to confirm that indeed it is gone. Only one thing now

Advice on medication
Over the last couple of weeks I have had pains in my stomach and for longer than that regular bladder problems. Always feeling I need to go to the toilet. I am on 3.5 mg of prednisolone and am wondering if it has anything to do with the other pills I am taking each day. 1 -20 mg omeprazole, 1 - 1000

blood tests vs ultra sounds
I am so confused! I have been diagnosed with cirrhosis after a stay in hospital with ascites. What do they pay more attention to the scans or the blood work? It’s so confusing. They say at scans they are for only surveillance of cancerous lesions but can they tell if the cirrhosis has gotten worse even
