@puddy68 and @bambam39, you will find most discussion about cirrhosis of the liver in the Digestive Health support group.

It is worthy of a support group dedicated to the condition and we will be opening such a group soon.

@puddy68, getting mixed messages is hard to say the least. Giving up alcohol is certainly better for your health. But that is easier said than done. Are you able to reduce alcohol use?
@bambam39, I can't imagine the stress you are dealing with as a caregiver. What did you learn at your husband's recent appointment?
