Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

Thoughts?
Hello, Decided to ring the liver trust nurses today . I spoke to a lovely lady who went through stuff with me but as she said didn’t know my medical details but encouraged or questioned should I be asking my consultant about my prognosis. Am I alone with now being scared to death that if I should ask

Gastro Appointment
hi everyone, I promised I would update you after my gastro appointment, there is not a lot to say really, he told me the past ct scan showed diffuse fatty liver and the ultrasound showed severe liver impairment, he then told me that the fibroscan done by them showed significant scarring, then showed

Supplements to help liver
I had a blood test that showed raised ALT and then stopped drinking for 3 months and the repeat test had gone down to normal levels. I have heard that various things can help the liver, milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion etc. Is there any merit in any of these. I do not drink a lot but the occasional

Worried
I am a 41 year old male. I have always drank but only ever lager. Maybe 2 cans a night after work each night in the week and 7 or 8 cans on a Friday and a Saturday. Was getting little twinges under my right ribs and in my side so haven't drank for 2 months but the twinges are still there. Not painful

supplements and lifestyle
Hello guys, I’ve found the advice from you folks to be really helpful since I’ve been on here moaning and groaning so I just wondered if any of you have experienced any measurable improvement in arthritis symptoms using supplements and lifestyle changes? I have just been recommended for TKR surgery

Fatty liver in biopsy but not scans
Hiya, I’m just curious if anyone has had a similar experience where their liver biopsy results shows signs of fatty liver but ultrasounds/CT show an enlarged liver but no fatty liver signs. I’m wondering if this means it’s extremely early stages maybe?

Advice Greatly Appreciated
Good Day, I would sooooo appreciate a response/advice/opinions.... I was recently advised by my GP (family doctor) that I have cirrhosis. This is of course terrifying...I apparently had sever fatty liver in July 2021 but I was sadly not informed of this. I would have turned it around immediately.

Hello again
I posted a little while ago, that I had been diagnosed with cirrhosis just over a year ago as a progression of NAFLD that I was unaware of. I had been waiting results of DEXA scan which did show thinning of bones and an US which showed no abnormalities. (The cirrhosis had been diagnosed from a Fibroscan
