Transplant. Illness. Feeling Ok.
Hi guys. You’ve probably seen my posts in the past. I had liver failure in April 2019 and this resulted in decompensated liver, encephalitis and extensive ascites/odema.

OFFICIAL NHS LETTER
It's the one that starts with "Solid
organ
transplant
recipients)." It is signed as though coming from my GP Practice, so perhaps that's definitely one way people are being identified? I do hope this may be useful information? Any questions, please feel free - I'll do my best 🤞🙂 Best wishes

Update on 1st post, scared but glad to be alive!
Sorry it has taken a while to get back, So the phone call with the consultant was frustrating and disappointing to be honest. He started by mentioning the "very serious infection" I got the feeling that he thought I didn't know what it was, I said "yes, the Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis" I asked

Living with Chronic Neuropathic Pain
There is much money in the pain and drug industry. Ethics and the recipients of these drugs do not factor into the bottom line. Profit and Loss Statements mean percentage increases at any cost. It is sad that chronic pain patients are made to feel like drug addicts and treated in a most callous way.

A newly discovered disease may lead to better treatment of cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis is the most frequent severe inherited disorder worldwide. Every year, hundreds of families are confronted with this diagnosis – and to date, there is no cure for this disease that mainly affects the respiratory system.
