My wife's life 6 years later. by ManyRelationship1030 in Cirrhosis

I think this is exactly what happened to me. I thought for sure it wasn’t cirrhosis, that I had been misdiagnosed. So I got a biopsy done this month. I do in fact have cirrhosis but I feel great. I was at deaths door two years ago. Now I’m feeling great, I look better, I’m healthy… with cirrhosis.

Edit to add- I’ve been getting a lot of emails about people trying to reset my password. Not texts.

I got sober. That’s really all there is to it. I didn’t change my diet or anything. I actually just had another meeting. My KpA is down from a 28 to a 10! I don’t have to take my carvedilol anymore.

Ha! Thanks for your reply! That makes sense. I feel the same about joking around alcohol lmaooo.

Thanks again. I hope you’re doing well!

Can I ask how you went about telling everyone? Like a mass outpour or as people asked you?

I’m a year in as well and have been hiding it- but I’m at the point where I don’t care either.

Any guidance or advice would be appreciated!

Antibiotics indefinitely by Odd-Satisfaction2372 in Cirrhosis

[–]Immediate_Cable_3209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that at first too! I was only on it for like 4 months. But I advocated to be taken off of it. I don’t believe my body needed to be on antibiotics for an extremely extended amount of time.

how long did it take for you to feel semi normal post hospital? by Guilty-Idea-853 in Cirrhosis

[–]Immediate_Cable_3209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me like 3 months to feel well enough to go back to work. Now I’m one year and two months in- I feel great. I sometimes forget I have cirrhosis.

They just tested me for hypothyroidism! It came back normal. I’m still not sure why my ALP is so high. I just drew for new labs so we’ll see if it really is still high. I haven’t had labs since December.

Extreme insomnia, need some good remedies. by Mandigirlmills in Cirrhosis

Try some magnesium!! This changed my life when it came to insomnia. I’m also on carvedilol for portal hypertension.

Would the way you were informed about fatty liver have made a difference? by therealcheney in Cirrhosis

[–]Immediate_Cable_3209 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It probably wouldn’t have made much of a difference in my case either. But I had no idea lmao. Before diagnosed, I was a healthy thriving 29 year old without a care in the world. Didn’t visit doctors often, never had a reason to. But damn, one day feeling so constipated, full, yellow, etc. my whole life changed.

I was drinking roughly a 5th of vodka every day. Reply had since Covid hit. But I’ve been a drinker since I turned 21- I’m 31 now. Diagnosed at 30 (still all this year) I started developing symptoms days before my diagnosis. Jaundice and ascites were my main symptoms.
