How worried should I be?
My little grandson and granddaughter have both tested positive this afternoon for covid. I have been with them today. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 2 years ago to this month. I was in hospital for 6 weeks and nearly died. I haven't drank alcohol since then. Covid is going around our area like wildfire

Hope you've had a good Xmas x I feel like I am in limbo. I'm still under the liver team and last time I saw the consultant he said that I may not have to have a transplant. I'm confused last year I was told that without a transplant I wouldn't be here this Xmas but I am. At the same time I told about

When do AST/ALT ratios matter?
I received two blood tests this year that display my ALT as 59 and AST as 31, with a ratio of approx 0.5. Do these values hold significance, given my ALT is only slightly out of the normal ceiling? From what I have read, this is indicative of viral hepatitis. The thing is, my doctor didn't recommend

Vitamin D in winter months
Vitamin D2 is ingested from a healthy balanced diet and can be derived from everyday foods such as: Egg yolks and fatty fish like; trout, mackerel, salmon or tuna, as well as cod liver oil, or fortified milk, juices and cereals. Vitamin D3 however, is most efficiently produced when our skin is exposed

Pain everywhere.. struggling so bad.

The left side of my body is tender to touch especially around my c section where the endo was previously. My left leg constantly has a burning pain and 5 months ago
