From the depths of despair, there is hope
Hi I have written a couple of posts on here but just want to update you re my progress to demonstrate how, with determination, you can turn things around. To summarise, last May/June I was hospitalised for over5 weeks. My drinking had slowly increased, (though I had always liked a drink) following

Symptoms suddenly taking a turn for the worse
Hello everyone. I am new to the forum, and have some questions to ask, but also want to share my RLS story, as well as some things that I have found helpful in living with RLS. I have had RLS for over 40 years. At first it was fairly easily controlled with a good run or long walk, and later with magnesium

Elective c section - update
Just wanted to update you all, after having an elective c section to bring my LG into the world. I was very apprehensive about it and whether I was doing the right thing. I got emotional as soon as we got to theatre but the staff couldn't have been nicer, I've been so well looked after and baby arrived

Unrelated to Parkinson's
Prior to 1980 about the only relativly common form of thiamin was thiamin hcl and then most vitamins and enritched food products changed to thiamin mononitrate. While thiamin HCL is a wonderful form of thiamin for 99.99 % of the population for some reason I can't take it. When I take thiamin HCL in

Elevated ELF but 'normal' Fibroscan pressure - how?
Hi All: I'm a 50-something male with a fatty liver. Recently I was given an ELF test and it returned a result at the lowest end of the 'severe fibrosis' range. A follow-up Fibroscan gave a reading in the upper normal range for liver stiffness. How can the disparity be explained? Do I give more credence

Covid, AKI and liver damage
Has anyone else had Covid and ended up with liver damage, acute kidney injury and nearly died from kidney and liver nigh on failure.

nhs job scared colleagues will find out I have cirrhosis.
hi . I’m becoming more and more worried that once I’m called for my first surveillance of my chirrhosis that I’ll know the doctor and people there as I k ow a lot of the staff in the hospital. I’m wondering if there’s any way I could ask for my scans elsewhere? Tia

Lost my job Stayed sober well into this year but stress of not getting a new job and debt recently drove me to relapse. It was a heavy one - horrendous

Can endo cause burning pain in the hip and around the lower back and ibs.
Hi, I’ve been suffering with long heavy periods for many year. I had an ablation at 40 which stopped the bleeding for 7 years, but now at 53 I’m still bleeding. I went in for a biopsy of the womb under General as, and was told that my womb was stuck together due to the ablation and C-section I had. I

Change in body shape post transplant
I am now 10m post transplant, and all going well. Not perfect, but well. I find my body shape has changed a lot, I am much more bulky in my upper abdomen, above my navel to chest. I expected some swelling while my body got to terms with the new liver, but even after this time, I just seem so BIG
