@margottaylor A doctor prescribed either 3 or 4 (I think ir was 4) ibuprofen 3 times a day for me to use indefinitely for some pain, I think it was bursitis. After a while I chose to stop it despite it giving me relief - it just did not seem right to me. I wondered when I developed liver problems, cirrhosis, if that could have contributed but I was assured that it would not have. So, a high dose taken regularly can cause liver problems? I know that now being post-transplant I cannot take it but I think that is because of some conflict with the immunosuppressants,

Wow JK... that's terrible. I'm horrified that former doctors didn't warm you about the risks of taking too much Ibuprofen. How long after you stopped taking it (for the Bursitis?) did you develop Cirrhosis? May I asked what your symptoms when you were that lead them to diagnose the Cirrhosis?
