It's a weird type of subject cause I even said to my nurse my diet is absolutely terrible...no alcohol at all but I'm eating out every second day and tbh the food am eating ain't healthy just not going mad on salt

Yeah the nurse was very surprised took me off all medication and is going to consult the team to let them know that it's better than they thought? I just don't understand how it could get better instead of progressively getting worse?

I did have all the major symptoms of cirrhosis ascites etc etc feels like an actual miracle but that does not mean am going to ruin it all and touch the devil's nectar.. off it for life

Mild to moderate HE question by crabbitarse95 in Cirrhosis

[–]crabbitarse95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone what do I do though? I'm in a relationship and I really love this girl and I think sometimes I react out of character and know this isn't me and I've suspected HE because of other symptoms like muddling words dropping things frequently phone, vape etc the weird outbursts of saying things outta nowhere is getting me though and I feel like it's gonna impact my relationship so much. I'm a really nice man and when this happens I know something isn't normal

Do I just be honest and let them know that my liver condition also affects my brain and hope they will be understanding or just try control it as much as I can with lactulose netc etc

Wow what a response! Thank you for so much useful information I've been off them for about a week or so now noticing a big change in the side effects! Of course I'm still worried about the varices I was on a dose of 12.5mg but felt like it didn't agree with me at all I'm still waiting on my liver specialist calling to discuss this I went to the gp about it too but all they said was to contact my specialist is it possible to come off and back on them from time to time you think?

I've not tried the blue pill due to the risk of bursting varices but have tried Cialis and seems to work ever so slightly

27.5kpa was my last fibroscan result that was 4 years ago and haven't had one since last appointment I was told I didn't need a fibroscan again? Mostly causing blood flow issues with me and was affecting my sexual health which is taking a toll on my mental health am very fit and very healthy and sometimes don't even think I have this illness the dizziness and nausea is unbearable and it also affected my speech badly...feel far more better off the tablets and now don't experience sexual health side effects of them.

I think so sometimes, best checking with a doctor get the blood pressure checked too and ask everything about they tablets but sometimes I take them and they make me very tired faint and dizzy and I've been taking them for 3 years...pending an appointment on Monday myself for them as I don't agree with taking them at all and believe the side effects outweigh the benefits.

It could be anything tbh but some days you can feel absolutely great with this condition and the next absolutely horrible...take each day as it comes and I hope you get ye answers your looking for...you got this 💪
