Yellow patches on eyelids
Hi I developed yellow patches on my eyelids and under my eyes pre-transplant. Read it can be a sign of poor liver function so that makes sense, however it has got slightly worse post transplant. My liver function is excellent and cholesterol is low so I’m not sure what is causing it and my consultant

antidepressants and liver disease
I have severe liver fibrosis and have had to start taking Escitalopram for depression. My doctor has put me on 15mg but instructions and websites say patients with liver disease should be on no more than 10mg. Anyone else taking this dose or higher which has been approved by your consultant please?

ozempic / Wegovy question
Hi. I need to lose weight having been diagnosed with cirrhosis and being significantly overweight. I will talk to my doctor about it but just wanted to ask if anyone has had experience of using the new weight loss meds on the market with cirrhosis. I understand they’re under the brand names of Ozempic

one month post op
I am one month out from my liver transplant, and am still in horrible pain, have lost 40 pounds, of which I did not have to loose, still taking OxyContin regularly, can’t sleep, and can’t eat solid foods. Any suggestions? Feeling absolutely miserable, and NO energy.

Update on my father. Triplet therapy?
After my last post, my father underwent spinal cord decompression surgery - they did laminectomy and partial corpectomy of the fractured vertebrae and did pedicular screw fixation to stabilize the spine. It's been 2 weeks since surgery and he is prescribed bed rest for 4-6 weeks. After 1-2 more weeks

HU and prefibrotic myelofibrosis
Recently diagnosed first with ET. put on 500mg hydroxyurea daily with platelets at 617. After bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, diagnosis changed to prefibrotic myelofibrosis. HU had brought platelets down to 270 but I suffered from bad side effects. Dr didn’t want to change med or dosage. I resisted

cirrhosis and symptoms
My husband has been monitored for liver problems for the last few years. He is a very heavy drinker and has been for a long time. I have been with him for 23 years plus. Last year he had an internal bleed though they couldn’t find where it was and was inconclusive. The consultant gastroenterologist

Do you tell friends / family
I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis 2 weeks ago. Still in shock as caused by taking azaphoprine for my ulcerative colitis. Anyway, I haven’t told many people only close friends and no one from work. Then, my partner told his mate down the pub, now I feel really upset and can’t believe he told someone
