Liver abuse
Seems like after months of reading posts in here ,there is much less emphasis on losing weight, eating right, and the many medications we have to take. It’s all about the alcohol. I guess if you quit drinking, but continue to be overweight ,eat poorly, you still compromise your liver. I suppose you have

Questran
I’ve been taking Questran for five days now, to stop itching related to jaundice. Does anyone else have experience of this medication and how soon does it usually take effect? The itching is really impacting on my quality of life.

New family member of cirrhosis sufferer
Hi my husband has alcoholic cirrhosis and pretty well all the associated complications but according to him he is fine and living his life the way he wants. He gets up to go to work at 5.30 to go work to fund his habit and pay the debts. I am so depressed we have no support and he won’t go to his hospital

Tirosint users
I have been on a treatment with tirosint and cytomel. I wanted to know if anyone is taking tirosint. I had a wonderful results with the medication. I hope my success with tirosint will help someone else. I know it contains no dyes and acacia, which helps absorption.

Anaesthesia
For those for whom the matter is of any interest, I discovered that the anaesthetic used by Manchester Royal Eye Hospital is proxymetacaine (which they generally seem to just refer to as "proxy"). They do not "stock" tetracaine. I know some people, like me, are keen to know how effective the anaesthetic

Hi everyone I'm new to this group and have been checking your posts, which have already been immensely helpful! I'd like to ask for your opinion on this: I'm 30 years old and have been having pale stools for the past year or so . More recently I started getting a lot of dizziness, weakness and palpitations

Spironolactone - Sore Nipples
About 5 weeks ago I was prescribed Spironolactone to help with my Edema, it worked very well but I now have extremely tender nipples that seem to have a solid mass behind them. Has anyone else had this reaction? Did stopping the Spironolactone solve it?

Spironolactone withdrawal?
Hi all, I was stage 4 cirrhosis with ascites, and took the diuretic spiro for over 12 months, which (along with alcohol abstinence) got me to re-compensated stage 2 with no ascites. Since then I have tapered the spiro, and 2 weeks ago quit completely. So far, thankfully I have not had any rebound gaining

Some questions/discussion topics on fatty liver
Hi, Was advised I had a fatty liver at the end of 2018 (likely from alcohol, but see one of q’s Below). 1. Alcoholic fatty liver vs non alcoholic, is this more the treatment for it as opposed to two different diseases? I.e, neither are medically distinguishable? How are people who eat badly, don’t exercise

Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) Advice for Newbie
Hi there, this is my first post, so hope someone can help. Last November I was diagnosed with HE and prescribed Rifaximin. Ammonia level was 185, which I'm told is very high but nothing to compare against. My care was also transferred from my local hospital to the nearest Transplant Centre. At my last
