Advice
Hi , so I have been drinking heavily for about 20 years, I've had bloods taken but nothing serious showed up but I knew there was something wrong as my stomach is swollen and my liver feels strange, bigger so I contacted my GP and I'm being seen tomorrow, she thinks it's an enlarged liver. Any idea what

Five years diagnosed
January 2022, will be five years that my liver enzymes elevated. January 2017 was a trying time for me. I started college September 2020. I was very surprised to pass my math class with an A. Pre-algebra that ended with algebra. May I ask how my 5 year aih/pbc friends are doing health wise? I’m working

Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis?
Hi, is it possible to experience Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis? Here's my backstory.. I'm ashamed to admit I was a daily drinker for approx 20 years (I'm now in my mid forties) as I used it to self-medicate to help with anxiety (terrible idea I know). I must have been averaging around 80 units

Bleeding in eye
I have a popped blood vessel in my eye. I did not do anything to cause it. Can that mean I have a low platelet count? Had anyone for this due to liver disease?

Assessment at the Royal Free, etc
At the start of this week my partner had his transplant assessment at the Royal Free. It was a really positive experience. Because we came from Bristol we stayed in the on-site hotel, which is great! There was a lot of waiting for tests and for the medics to be available. I couldn't stay on the unit

Covid -19, still a big risk for some - 2.
I posted this tread up some three months ago just as a warning to others who like me are immunosuppressed. At this time, there are estimated to be around 44% of organ transplanted people who still didn't produce any Covid antibodies. Some of you will remember Jenny who use to frequent this forum, Jenny

Organ Donation
Hi, I would like some advice / opinions if possible. I would like to enrol in the live kidney donation programme. My only concern is 'what if my brother needs it'. He was hospitalised with decompensated cirrhosis in 2019 and was given a 20% chance of survival. He miraculously recovered and is now compensated

Helpless.
My brother is an alcoholic, his liver has been severely damaged as a result and we nearly lost him last year. He’s been told he’s not to drink any alcohol but after about 6-8 weeks after he came out of hospital he started drinking again. He lives in London and I live in South Wales, I’ve only seen him

Feeling a bit stressed
I’m in the stressful position of selling my house and buying a new house closer to my family. The end point will be worth it, but I’m in a difficult chain and I’m worried it’s going to fall through. The sale is the result of a long term relationship breakdown which makes it even more messy as my ex partner
