@jeanne5009 thanks for sharing! I've been on lactulose and Rifaxamin for 2 years also yet lately I've been on the brink feeling that HE episode is around the corner. Since I had no choice in the matter of losing my license I've been dependent on others. As soon as I started on the lactulose the ministry automatically revoked it. I have tried to get my doctors to complete the paperwork but to no avail. They will not reinstate until I'm off lactulose post transplant. I agree that maybe it's for the best. I would hate to cause an accident. I'm lucky to have quite a few family members who remain accessible 24/7. I've been thinking about a medical bracelet. I always have emergency numbers in my wallet. My thoughts are with you.

@gaylea1 If you feel that you may be on the brink of having HE again it may be because your liver has decompensated further. That is what they felt happened to me, although we will always wonder if it could have been the coming together of three things that are mentioned as possibly leading to an HE episode.
