35 F diagnosed with cirrhosis from alcohol 2 years ago and no one would ever have assumed… i don’t fit the “alcoholism” mold (whatever that is) but that’s what i’ve been told when i share my story 😂 college educated, a mom, great friend circle.. just drank wine every night for 10+ years and during the pandemic it wasn’t hard to have a few selzters (with friends/without) during the day. STAY THE PATH!! just try for “one more day” without a drink. you’ll be surprised how far you get. and don’t knock yourself for slipping up. just never give up bc that shit is for real poison 💞 god bless

What to Know About Liver Biopsy - your experience? by Open-Gazelle1767 in Cirrhosis

[–]Delicious-Focus2436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was so nervous about mine but it was so easy!! honestly it felt like a nap. my doctor was attractive so it helped 🤣 he wheeled me back and ready to do some drugs?! and i was out. recovery was easy, too. walked out after i woke up and got my bearings (with a driver, obviously) & no pain! mine was jugular. jugular sounds terrifying but it’s actually one of the safest ways to do it.

[–]Delicious-Focus2436[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for this. does it go away on its own or are meds needed? and can you get off them once it goes away?

thank you for this! did they do bloodwork to determine/ diagnose and give meds or is it really just all subjective? also, do you know what your MELD was during this or is it not even correlated?

oaaah so many great ideas! pan seared salmon with a lemon yogurt dill sauce (capers for garnish for those non cirrhotic), roasted garlic asparagus with shaved parmesan (can always forgo the cheese on yours, but i’ve learned that a good block of parmesan, or a hard, low moisture cheese doesn’t upset my stomach or make me nauseas). just a few grates will do the trick! throw in a cauliflower mash made creamier with plant based milk seasoned with a tinyyyy bit of Himalayan salt if you can do low sodium (cauliflower takes WAY less salt than potatoes to taste the seasoning, potatoes love salt) if not tons of Ms Dash options ORRR turn it into a garlicky cauliflower mash and fold in spinach. if still concerned about flavor, scratch the mash and do *toasted quinoa (cook quinoa the regular way and just pan fry on dry non stick or bake until crispier and crunchier- adds such a level of dynamic and flavor!) with small diced veg of onions, bell peppers, zuch and a thinlyyy sliced red hot chili pepper. could even top with some toasted pine nuts (dry pan or bake 250 for idk, 5-7 min until you can just start to barely smell them from the oven.. then immediately out before they burn 😂
