Update
Hi I posted a couple of weeks ago about my brother who is currently in the QEB with liver disease. You all gave such helpful advice so i’m here with an update. Things have been up and down. A few days ago he finally got a room on a liver ward as opposed to the general ward, this has been much better

Cataract Surgery: NHS referral for fast treatment
I’m aware that cataracts are a common side effect of steroids. I’ve developed cataracts in both eyes, rapid growing and last week had surgery for replacement lens in one eye. The waiting time for NHS treatment at the hospital eye clinic is over three years. I was referred for urgent surgery under

PREDNISONE TAPERING WITH ACTEMRA
This is my second time with GCA- I tapered prednisone slowly over the last 5 years without Actemra. My TAB was negative, but was treated for GCA/PMR. Last summer (after being completely off prednisone) I had several amaurosis fugax incidences, as well as jaw and ear pain). A positive temporal biopsy

25 years of daily heavy drinking
hi, I have been one of the lucky ones, and I’m not writing this to gloat, I’ve read many of the stories on here about the effects of drinking, and it has been through reading these and re-assessing my own lifestyle that I was able to finally go to the doctor and tell him the truth about my drinking.

Carvedilol
Hi, I've had my second (annual) gastroscopy since my Cirrhosis was diagnosed last year in February. The results were pretty much as the first one, so no change. The doctor who performed this test, different to the first one, suggested that my GP put me on Carvedilol. GP prescribed it and I have now

Fatty Liver
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver. I have been a heavy drinker for at least 25 years. My question is: How long will it take for my liver to recover if I abstain from alcohol completely? I understand that there is no set figure but any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your help

I’m seeing my transplant team for the first time on 9th Aug and apparently I think I’m boarderline if I need a transplant, so was wondering if this treatment would be better

Good news
Whilst I am still struggling with getting help for my son, I had a bright spot of news this week. Had a consultation with my liver nurse, first time face to face since lockdown. My bloods have been great for several years, ultrasounds all good too. I had a Fibroscan as I hadn’t had one for around 4

Return to running after 2 months
I was running week 2 or 3 times a week after completing Couch to 5k in summer 2020. However, my last run was on 20 February 2023. Since then I have been unable to run for various reasons, including cataract surgery. I am hoping to start running again this week and would like advice as to how to re-start

I don’t understand my diagnosis as it’s changed from being overdosed by opiates (hospital error). Now it’s change.
In 2019 I was found on the floor & I don’t know or recall nothing. I could not see as I had balloon out so big that I was unrecognisable. It was a while to get my sight back but I was also told that I was had Liver failure. All my different consultants got together and realised that I was on so much

Thiamin
Hi, my gp has prescribed Thiamine, she hasn't said how long I need to take it for ? I have a little bit of fatty liver, but that's all I know, what sort of question should I be asking and how worried should I be?

Understanding BMB
Hi, Reading other members' interpretations of their BMB reports has led me to look at mine more closely, and would value your input. I had my second one over a year ago and was told like my first one everything was fine - no fibrosis. I have PV and take Rux. I didn't question it. However, In the Trephine
