    It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of your videos, but it’s good to see you looking healthy. And I really like what I heard from you and it makes sense.

    I'm really scared. Weakness but can't sleep, really itchy, can barely hold a conversation I'm always nervous and confused. So much pain and nausea my mental health is shot. I'm holding onto hope.

    Joy killing fatigue, joint pain, skin issues! I am shivering cold even on warm days. Sleep deprivation makes me a zombie. I’ve always been pretty tough but this is about to be more than I can do. My people don’t understand and I don’t have good doctors. Feeling pretty hopeless. I appreciate you Nick, wish you better days ahead.

    You seem to be holding out pretty well to me. I assume you're still waiting on a compatible transplant & trying to maintain stability. I lost my sister to a plethora of health issues & hate we didn't catch her issues a lot sooner...thanks for sharing your experiences.

    You're lucky to be pre transplant and be somewhat heathy. After I was diagnosed with cirrhosis I quit drinking, went to a specialist and started having blood tests done until the numbers (of my blood test) got so bad and I had to be admitted to the hospital twice for blood transfusions. My body was eating my red blood cells. I'm now 3 years post transplant and walk a lot. LOL

    Physically, the itching and joint pain is the worst. Mentally, the anxiety stops me doing things I was not previously worried about.

    I"ve always enjoyed hearing your experiences for the last few months of watching your videos. It would be cool to see you do a fun episode, like at a park or something to remind people how you still enjoy life to the fullest despite your diagnosis.

    I have fatty liver. Trying to prevent cirrhosis

    Right there with every single symptom. Don’t leave out splenic artery aneurysms. I use Xifaxin for HE. It works fantastic and they allow me to only use lactulose when my mind goes wacko because I can tell it. My platelets run around 100 and I sometimes get spontaneous bleeding from my mouth. My blood is extremely thin which is normal and add that on to a huge spleen and put an aneurysm in the mix and it could be disastrous if in an accident. Muscle wasting is horrible after 15 years of this, but hey I am still here. Just keep churning along. I have horrible neuropathy which is another side effect. Add that onto the itching and I almost go mad. I take a Benadryl if terribly itchy and sometimes need atarax when it gets out of control. My side gets what is like a catch in it that literally makes me scream as it takes my breath. This stuff is no fun and I am too exhausted to think about sex honestly.

      My side does that when I lean forward sometimes. I thought it was from where they took my gallbladder out but I guess it's my liver😢

      @@valerielock2374 nope. It is from where the liver gets stiff and scared down. They told me at Mayo unless the platelets got below 50, they do nothing. Bruises are terrible.

    It's like nothing any more for me. I cured my severe chirrhosis with daily 3 capsules of Milk Thisle and 1 Serrapeptace. Detaining from booze for 9 months. Now I can drink moderately now and then and I feel no effect of the disease. Blood work is good and liver epitel had smoothen, due to Serrapeptace breaking up scar and dead tissue. Strongly recommend these suppliments.
