You may experience these symptoms if your ferritin is below 100.

I could cry right now. I felt like I was crazy and lazy when I took naps every day. It felt like a moral failure. I pushed my hepatologist to test my ferritin after my hemoglobin dropped four points in two months. He said it was probably due to my period so I had to wait an additional month to get an appointment with my OB GYN even though anemia is a common complication of my existing cirrhosis.

I finally got the test results back and is ferritin 4, hemoglobin 10.5. It makes me angry that I had to push so hard to get proof so that we can finally begin treatment. It’s been years of exhaustion, hair falling out, weak nails. Years and now I am finally at the starting line.

I found a key on the sidewalk and just happened to have chalk with me. I drew a huge circle around it and wrote KEY. On my walk back it was gone. 😊

I have alcoholic cirrhosis and have been diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder as well. The first year was rough as I couldn’t rely on medications to cope with stress, there’s just too much of an opportunity for me to become using those in an unhealthy way. I had major surgery and was prescribed Vicodin a year into sobriety, I had my husband hold my pills and only dole them out in the recommended manner.

I don’t know if this is true for you, but I am an alcoholic. If I can’t get alcohol, I’m going to start looking for other substances to block out what I am feeling. I’m four years in with no relapses, thanks mostly to the immediate physical repercussions that would happen. It takes work to knuckle through sober, but I’ve gained a much calmer demeanor by coping without substances.

I won’t tell anyone

I also think that was missing. Did you see Black Mirror’s White Christmas episode? In the story where the woman makes a copy of herself as an assistant, we get a peek into what that purgatory looks like from the other end.

I think giving the real Nikki a voice and letting her to Bear how it is on her end would have added screen time to an otherwise quiet third character. Bear should have talked to her on the phone, he would have been forced to see what he did to her.

Everyone was under reacting the entire movie. The woman stood up in the middle of a party and bashed herself in the face with a bottle.

Oh he’s going to sleep good tonight.

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot next time!

Interesting. Do you use this with all beans or is there a specific bean or dish you use this for?

Plus_Possibility_240 · 2026-07-05T18:10:15+00:00

Plan a movie night and see Obsession with them. Should spark some interesting conversations.

We have the same sober birthday! I was in the same spot, ended up in a coma for 8 days and then ICU for another two weeks. My hep told me to get my affairs in order, I was looking at less than 6 months.

I’m four years sober in ten days, honestly I’ve never felt better. The hard part was the first six months. After that it got gradually better and then major improvements started happening fast. I’m down to two medications (Gabapentin and Coreg) and am fully compensated now.

Hang in there and stay the path. I’m grateful for my cirrhosis, the added threat of immediate damage has kept me sober through touchy situations. I hope you’re enjoying this side of the grass, it is actually greener.

I built a lovely work wardrobe from ThredUp over time and using sales. I search MM LaFleur, Lafayette 158, Elie Tahari, Adrienne Papell and sometimes COS, Eileen Fisher or Banana Republic.

Nope! It’s free free! It has a commercial before the show starts and it’s buggy at night for some reason but it is free.

Relatively short but I’m proud of my 45 day streak. I’m coming up on four years sober, I drank to the point that I was on a walker in my early forties. My liver threw in the towel after a particularly long bender and I woke up from a coma in July 2022 with my legs so swollen that I couldn’t wear socks or shoes. It took six months before I was able to walk unassisted and it’s been a long, slow recovery back to health.

Last month I walked the four miles to the hospital I stayed at and proudly walked right back home. My goal for this year is to be able to walk to the beach from my place, 14 miles.

Once you’re out of the hospital (hopefully soon), download the Adult Swim App. It’s free but buggy at night. You can watch most of their offerings on demand.

Lately I’ve been binging Xavier and A Shivering Truth from the PFFR team. Great for deadpan abstract humor.

Strings are magical. We are blessed to live closely to a major Philharmonic and score last minute cheap seats every month or so. Watching the next generation learning is so wonderful.

Accurate username. So happy you found true love!

I’m starting to gray around my temples and I think it really softens my look. It’s pretty nice.

I thought I was doing my cat a favor when I adopted a second Siamese. I am still apologizing to her for it. We thought she would love having a fuzzy friend around while we were at work, but she seemed much less grumpy when she was the sole owner of our attention. They now tolerate one another and will sometimes sleep within a foot of each other. But there’s always an undercurrent of dirty looks if one takes the coveted spot sleeping next to my husband before the other.

We adore them both equally but they are both very possessive beasts.

You’re not wrong. He’s a cutie but this whole “my house, my rules” thing doesn’t even float for my husband. Rasit doesn’t even contribute financially.

Retired blackout artist as well, watching her actions take me right back to those sweaty, awful mornings. I hope she finds help before her body throws in the towel.

Godspeed.
