Carvedilol
Hi, I've had my second (annual) gastroscopy since my Cirrhosis was diagnosed last year in February. The results were pretty much as the first one, so no change. The doctor who performed this test, different to the first one, suggested that my GP put me on Carvedilol. GP prescribed it and I have now

Never rains just pours….😡😡
Now being tested for rheumatoid arthritis due to extremely painful ankles, knee and wrists. Hopefully if positive this new addition to the family will get on well with my IPF but as long as the lung transplant can proceed I’m cool. 🤪🤪 Stay safe xx

new diagnosis
Hella all. I was diagnosed a few years ago with nafld and then due to an error had a two year gap between a fibrosis score and getting the results. That showed a jump from 7 to 16 in the score so I was offered another test. The new test gave a result of 28 and a fat scores of 396/400. Understandably

2 years and counting…
I had supper with my family yesterday evening. I’d cooked some fish for Good Friday and had opened a bottle of chilled Chablis for them and a sparkling elderflower soft drink for myself. (Belvoir Farm - delicious). We were chatting and my brother reminded me that it was 2 years ago since I’d been in

Fatty Liver
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver. I have been a heavy drinker for at least 25 years. My question is: How long will it take for my liver to recover if I abstain from alcohol completely? I understand that there is no set figure but any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your help

Medicare and Transplant
First off, ‘Hello’ to everyone. My husband will be having a kidney transplant on March 10. He just turned 60 years old and currently he’s on my insurance. I know that he can get on Medicare for the transplant surgery and three years post transplant. Does he have to sign up himself or is that done at

help with changing hospitals
hi, I’ve been listed for
liver
transplant
in Birmingham. I’m currently being treated for cancer in Liverpool Aintree. They have made so many mistakes it’s unbelievable… They didn’t do bloods for hepatitis and after 16 months of cancer Birmingham discover this is the primary cause.

Good news
Whilst I am still struggling with getting help for my son, I had a bright spot of news this week. Had a consultation with my liver nurse, first time face to face since lockdown. My bloods have been great for several years, ultrasounds all good too. I had a Fibroscan as I hadn’t had one for around 4
