Back On Spironolactone And Asking For Help
Many of you here know my story: I began drinking again due to stress after losing disability benefits (because I'm too clever to be disabled and entitled to PIP, apparently - even though I'm epileptic to the point that I am a danger to myself and others) and found that I was unable to stop. I didn't

Rehab?
Has anybody here successfully gone through rehab after falling off the wagon? I told my consultant at the time that allowing me to cut down wouldn't work - it's like dangling a carrot in front of a starving donkey - but he asked me to try anyway. Well, I've been trying for a year, and getting nowhere

What questions should I ask?
My husband is 64 and an alcoholic who was diagnosed last year with cirrhosis. We have been living apart for over a year now but I still do what I can to support him. My husband now lives in Scotland whilst I am in London. During the 12 months we have been apart he has been in and out of hospital several

Newbie
Hi I am a Newbie on here but not to PCOS. I was diagnosed about 16 years ago. I have been on metformin and spirolactone for about ten years. The only benefit i have seen is that i have not become diabetic. I am frustrated at the effects PCOS has on my body. I am the only person in my family to be diagnosed

Annual Ultrasound
This year I have a clearer picture of the state of my liver, as my husband was allowed in with me and he was able to read notes that I couldn't see whilst lying on my back being examined. Liver is apparently slightly enlarged, but that has been written off as "expected" for someone with cirrhosis. On

Cirrhosis questions for my MIL
Hi everyone, this is my 1st post here.... My Mum in law was diagnosed with cirrhosis a few months ago. She wasn't a drinker, and the cause "could be" fatty liver. She is taking spironolactone 50mg & frusomide 20mg (to help with the ascites). She has type 2 diabetes. She is quite upset about this, and

Cirrhosis just diagnosed loads of questions
Evening all. I was diagnosed today and whilst I was able to ask some questions I have loads more. I'd welcome any answers you might have. Is it usual for them to assume it is alcohol related? I ask because I did have a problem for a couple of years drinking 1 to 2 bottles of wine each day but I was

I am really fed up and can't live with edema (water retention) anymore. Does anyone has any thoughts to share about this?
I was untreated for hypothyroidism for years because my results were always more or less "normal". Instead I received all sorts of treatments for diseases I never had, just wasted time, money, health. I started retaining water year after I became ill. it was in 2009 and since then IT NEVER STOPPED. I
