Liver Diseases Support Group: Let’s connect

Posted by Lisa Lucier, Moderator @lisalucier, May 23 11:18am

Welcome to the Liver Diseases support group on Mayo Clinic Connect.

If you or someone you care about has a liver disease — or you are questioning if it might be liver disease — this is a great place to talk to others with similar experiences. It’s a welcoming forum to learn from each other and share stories about challenges, coping strategies, setbacks and what helps.

Take these steps to participate in the group:

  • Follow the group.
  • Browse topics.
  • Use the group search to find answers to your questions.
  • Introduce yourself.

Let's chat. Please start by introducing yourself. What is your experience, or your loved one’s experience, living with liver disease or possible liver disease symptoms (i.e., what symptoms you've experienced, what type of disease, how long since diagnosis, how it’s managed)? Do you have a question, tip or story to share?

I was diagnosed with F3 fibrosis ( via fibro scan for elevated liver enzymes) after three years on Prednisone and a year of methotrexate for Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I was approved for Rezdiffra by Aetna but could not afford the $1000 monthly copay. I stopped eating processed and fast food, red meat, 90 percent of dairy and sugar and white rice/bread/ potatoes. Zero alcohol. In four months I reduced my numbers to high fatty liver without fibrosis and lost 30 pounds. I am 73 and diabetic.
