BBC News Story, 'My mum was an alcoholic and it was a massive secret'
While I fully understand that this site isn’t an alcohol forum, alcohol has had an impact upon so many peoples lives, and this site is about support and hopefully raising awareness with others. So please forgive me as this post isn’t directly liver-related. What is often forgotten is the impact alcohol-abuse

BCD
Hi, I have been recently diagnosed with Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy. I have been getting intravenous avastin in both eyes for wet macular degeneration since 11 years (when needed). But my diagnosis is relatively recent. I personally have neither met or known anyone with BCD and wanted to see if anyone

Red vomit - Esophageal Varices?
I'm gonna keep this as brief as possible. So, at the moment I have a lot of concerns about liver disease/cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse. I haven't drunk anything in 10 days, but decided to have a couple of light beers last night. It made me feel really bloated and gassy, so I made myself sick. The

Private fibroscan in East midlands
Hello my first post here. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver by ultrasound and have symptoms that could be related but my GP doesn't want to look into it as my liver function test is almost normal. I was wondering if there are any private fibroscan services in Lincolnshire or nearby?

Chalazion after injection - how long should we leave it after shot before using hot compresses?
Hi guys, I had my lucentis shot last Tuesday (and a very scratchy shot it was too - my worst in two years). I have a repeated chalazion that comes up on the lid of that eye, and it's in the process of flaring now. Has anyone been given guidance on how long we should leave using microwavable compresses

Itching and Advanced Liver Disease/Anyone without advanced liver disease?
I keep reading itching is one of the signs of advanced liver disease, how is that possible when people with just a fatty liver with mild fibrosis have itching and some without fibrosis have itching. Anyone with itching without advanced liver disease?

Try and remain calm and positive
I work in the field of mental health and have a lot of client and personal experience in anxiety especially. A mentor once said to me ask this question when you are worrying. ' Is it of any use?' The answer of course is always 'No'. Worrying about something does not change it, and yes I do realise we

Scaring myself silly and pretty ashamed too.
I’ve been lurking on here not posting for a long time. I have a really toxic relationship with alcohol and while I found I have always managed to get it under control, this year has seen my drinking spiral. Over the past nearly 9 months I’ve drank around 2 bottles of wine a day, sometimes less, sometimes

I just joined today
So happy I found this place! It is a treasure trove of information. I am an 83-year-old woman from California with macular degeneration. It has been very slowly progressing for about 10 years, but recently one eye progressed to the wet form. I have had two Avastin injections and am due for a third next

Raised GGT/ALT. Completely lost.
Hello all. I literally found this forum minutes after speaking with my GP. I am 37, 6'1, 15 stone. Don't drink alcohol over the weekly suggested amount, and don't smoke. I was told today that my GGT levels are at 100, and that my ALT is 66. Doctor didn't explain clearly what this meant or
