F3 Fibrosis Regression
hi all First post and have to say, read a lot of posts and can only thank everyone who contributes and helps educate others about their own personal way forward. So here is my question. How long does it realistically take ( with doing everything possible ) to regress from F3 severe fibrosis to F2?

Post Op
Done my liver resection on 14 March 2024 coz found tumour in it since 2023. Went through Y90 treatment to shrink the tumour. Doc removed the tumour via keyhole with a drainage wound. After the op, stayed in hospital for 7 days till I’m stable and independent enough to walk on my own so wouldn’t be

always question
Just this morning there was a post about questioning the legitimacy of a survey about itching - and receiving payment for completing it. Some of you reached out to The PBC Foundation (as did I) to just make sure it was 'for real'. I am just as hopeful that when any of you don't feel the care you receive

Nicotine patches vs gum.
if you’re not aware, I’ve been experimenting with the nicotine patch. I found that it’s too much. I wonder if that why the trial failed. I found a couple pieces of gum, 3-4 a day as needed better. I will soon be off meds. They never really worked that good anyway. Nicotine works just as good if not

Is it just me?
Wondering if anyone else isn't sold on the concept of taking a sledgehammer to the immune system to treat RRMS. I am looking forward to these meds finishing clinical trials: * Vidofludimus calcium [It's both anti-EBV and neuroprotective effect] (Link: https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com

b12 liver stores
Hi everyone, Just a quick question for those of us with PA. When we have b12 loading doses I have read this replenishes liver stores. Can anyone tell me does this b12 always successfully make it into the liver stores? I ask because my body does not reflect this. Loading doses did nothing to alleaviate

Ultrasound/Biopsy show cirrhosis, but fibroscan score is 7.4
I’m somewhat perplexed… since my diagnosis I’ve been told I have cirrhosis, because of my biopsy and ultrasound results. A recent fibroscan score was 7.4, which is fibrosis. Although some parts of the fibroscan were as high as 8. Can someone explain this? My dr. was very vague in his explanation. Thank

What does having a NEW KIDNEY feel like?
Hi All, I have been in the transplant list for a year now and still waiting to get called. I can’t just help to wonder what having a kidney transplant will feel like. Apart from the fact that it will be a gift of life and freedom from being tied down to dialysis. What does it feel like? Will you

Protein in my urine
Hi there! I am 6 months post kidney transplant. First I'd like to say that I was very blessed, I was approved and put on the list May 3, 2023 and I received my new kidney from a perfect match deceased donor June 13, 2023. My transplant team said that is very rare and very lucky. I have had some challenges

Healthy liver to Cirrhosis
Hello, approximately two years ago I was submitted to hospital with Jaundice after a binge drinking session. I was given an Ultrasound, and told that my results were “clear” and that my liver was normal sized and regular in outline. I was released the next day and given a prescription of Thymine .
