Fibromyalgia help! Please
Hiya, I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that can help symptoms from fibromyalgia, anything that isn't hard medication, I have heard cod liver oil, tumeric and magnesium. I want to know any thoughts on this or anything else that people have found that works. Anything and information at all

Dad has stage 4 cirrhosis
Hi everyone, I have recently found out my dad has stage 4 liver cirrhosis. He isn't eligle for a liver transplant the doctors said he wouldn't be a candidate ( I think this may be because he has COPD) . I'm just so heart broken and so is my Dad. I'm trying to understand what this means for him though.Can

Any alcohol?
hi all I’ve been diagnosed with NAFLD. I had a fibroscan which showed a reading of 20 so possible borderline cirrhosis. However my gastro consultant said he didnt feel this was entirely accurate and it’s maybe not progressed that far yet, please god. My question is, and I think I know the answer

Defenestration or detouring of cysts in PLD
Recently went to King’s London for possible liver transplant tests due to a large polycystic liver and they feel it is the wrong time. That enough good parts of my liver remain. However it is very large and they are considering draining the cysts. Anyone out there had similar experience ? Jo

Liver Transplant Kings College
Hi This is my first post here so I’m a bit nervous…I was just wondering if anyone had encountered any problems with the transplant assessment process at Kings College Hospital in London or problems with the care they received while there. I have had huge issues and oversights with them and I was

LFT with High Billi
I mentioned before my wife passed away in Jan 2023 due to renal failure. The One Doctor continues to argue she had decompensated cirrhosis. Her last LFTs were really good, actually beyond AST that bounced around when she got sepsis. They remained within a few points of the levels below. Her INR fluctuated

HE and Variceal Bleed
I last posted 2 years ago after being concerned for my mom and her drinking. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis and has now been alcohol free for just over 2 years. She has had 2 variceal bleeds in the last 4 months, both times being found by her partner covered in blood and within a few weeks of seeing

jugular test
hi I had another CT SCAN and I’ve had subtle changes with my liver as my specialists can’t work out why my liver is cirrhosis and I have portal hypertension but the findings don’t collaborate together I’ve now got to have a test where they go in to my jugular vein in my neck and I think they said it

Spider Nevi
Former drinker. So I have noticed some red blemishes on my upper back. They are small but are not going away. I can't really see any blood vessels branching out from the blemish. Does spider nevi due to cirrhosis usually occur on the back? I have about three of them. I had slightly high liver enzymes

varices
I would like to thank all the people who replied the variety of experiences made me do more research and I found that Carvedilol and omeprazole are just as effective as banding, however I will ask for a further Gastroscopy in a year or two. As I’ve had a serious bleed before probably over reacted. Once

Hi all :-) I got told years ago I had NAFLD and no one really said it was a big deal. I was young (ish) and didn’t do anything about it. I was totally symptom free and then had an endoscopy for acid reflux (so I say “symptom free” but not sure if related but I know lots of people with acid reflux with

Having a rough day as carer
I'm having a rough day today. I got really overwhelmed last night with everything and usually wake up feeling better but I haven't!I'm so tired of caring for everyone, even mentally, when it's not physically. I keep feeling tearful because I wish, for just 1 week, someone would care for me this much!
