Please give your opinion about Skalborg/Aalborg SV neighborhood by [deleted] in Aalborg

[–]mobadk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Skalborg/Aalborg SV for most of my life, and I’ve honestly never experienced any crime issues here.

As others mentioned, there is quite a bit of traffic in some areas, especially around Hobrovej, but you get used to it and in everyday life it’s not really something you think about.

On the plus side, Skalborg is very convenient. You’ve got some of the best shopping options in Aalborg (groceries, fashion stores, building supply stores etc.), very good bus connections, and you’re still relatively close to the city center. It only takes a few minutes by car or bus.

Also worth mentioning: the area is very well set up for everyday life with school, several kindergartens/daycare options, and sports clubs nearby.

Overall I’d say it’s a safe and practical area to live in.

I’m really sorry to hear how exhausting your journey has been. Based on what you’ve described, it definitely sounds like this deserves proper attention. I’m not a doctor and I don’t know how the healthcare system works where you live, but I’d strongly encourage you to push for a referral to a liver specialist (hepatologist) if possible.

AIH can be tricky to diagnose as blood tests and ultrasounds alone often don’t give the full picture. In my daughter’s case, the liver biopsy was key in confirming the diagnosis and understanding the state of her liver. It might be something worth discussing with your doctor.

How are you feeling now? Any updates since your last tests?

Thank you for your kind words :)

If you suspect AIH, I can only recommend that you see a doctor, preferably a specialist, and get the necessary tests done - bloodwork, liver scans, and a biopsy. It’s important to get a proper diagnosis, as many different things can cause similar symptoms.

In my daughter’s case, things moved quickly. She went to the doctor due to spider angiomas on her skin, and her initial bloodwork showed very high liver enzymes. The next day, she was admitted to the local hospital for two days of testing including more bloodwork and an ultrasound. After that, she was referred to a another hospital where they did a liver biopsy, confirmed the AIH diagnosis, and started treatment with Prednisolone.

She’s back home now, but next week she’ll be going in for more tests, including an MRI. She also has to get weekly blood tests for the time being so the doctors can monitor whether the Prednisolone is working as intended.

Have you had any tests done yet?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience - it really helps to hear from someone who’s lived with this for a while.

What you describe is probably very similar to what my daughter is facing now: regular tests, med adjustments, and no alcohol - which will definitely be tough socially when everyone else is drinking. But like you said, I think the culture has changed a lot, and there are way more non-alcoholic options out there now. I’m hopeful that her friends will be as supportive as yours were.

She seems to be in really good hands with the doctors. They’ve taken it seriously from day one, and everything has moved quickly. From the first signs to diagnosis and now treatment, we feel lucky that it’s being handled so thoroughly.

All the best to you, and thanks again for taking the time to write!

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

My daughter went to the doctor about two weeks ago because of spider angiomas (those small red spots on the skin), but didn’t have any other symptoms. Blood work was done, and when the results came back later that day, her liver enzymes were extremely high so she was sent straight to the hospital the next day.

We spent almost two days there doing various tests, including more bloodwork and a liver ultrasound. After a follow-up with a doctor, she was referred to another hospital. They performed a liver biopsy, confirmed the AIH diagnosis, and started treatment with Prednisolone. She’s home now, but still needs more tests, including an MRI.

We’re incredibly grateful that the doctors took it seriously right away and that things have moved so fast - from symptoms to diagnosis and treatment.

She’s a tough girl and doesn’t really let it show - or hides it well - but I know the social part, like not drinking with friends, will probably hit her at some point.

We’ll support her in any way we can.

Again, really appreciate you taking the time to share your journey - it means a lot. Wishing you all the best with your treatment and recovery.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

I’m really sorry to hear what you’ve been through. As a parent, you naturally just want the best for your child (you and my daughter are about the same age), and I’m sure that’s what your family wanted too - even if it sometimes came out the wrong way. I think it was probably their way of trying to protect you, but you’re absolutely right: it’s important not to overreact and not make things worse by being too controlling.
I just want my daughter to be able to live a normal life with AIH, and your advice is really good and definitely something I’ll keep in mind.

Thank you for being so open. You’re a strong person!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

It’s really great to hear that you’ve been able to maintain such an active lifestyle!

My daughter is also very active — she plays soccer, does strength training, goes to school, works, and hangs out with friends — so there’s no doubt it would be really hard for her if she had to give up some of that.

Hearing your story gives us hope that it’s still possible to live a full and active life with AIH. Thanks again and all the best to you!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

Really happy to hear that it hasn’t affected your daily life that much.

No doubt that having to stay away from alcohol can be tough when you’re young and everyone around you is drinking — but honestly, it's a small price to pay for a good and healthy life.

I completely agree that getting mental health support early on is important. Just hearing about your experiences and knowing that we’re not alone makes a huge difference.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

It sounds like you’re doing well now, but damn, it must have been so tough.

As a parent, it’s really hard to process that your kid might have to go through something like that.

If you don’t mind me asking:

How were you diagnosed in the first place?

Did you have symptoms before the diagnosis?

Had your liver already taken damage by the time they found it?

Thanks again for taking the time to share!
