Hi! I've was told I have cirrhosis 1 and a half years ago and actually it hasn't always been like this. It started with acistes(fluid in my belly). That's what alerted me that something was wrong. But it's just gradually gotten to this point. But a lot of symptoms along the way. Vomiting a gallon size bag of blood from a bleed inside, drawing fluid every couple months, then it got better for a little while once I was medicated with lasix to keep the fluid down and frequently getting endoscopy looking for bleeding. But now another bout with these new symptoms with my heart a sign that it's getting worse. So it's more like a up and down rollercoaster. With every new symptom until the Drs figure how treat it. Then it's better till the next symptom. It hasn't all been terrible even though it sounds bad . God finds us a way to deal with things we never thought we could. Make sure you find the best doctor around. And ask a lot of questions. Even if they don't like it. Who's health is it anyway. All the best to ya!

You are dealing with a lot and are inspiring in how you are handling it. It comforts me to hear God is providing the strength you need to walk this path. And now you’ve found Connect.
