The waiting is hard but I try and do what I can. There are days I can't make it out of bed but others where I can accomplish some things. It's hard to make plans as I never know how I'll feel on a given day. I do travel some - got to try to keep the brain engaged somehow!

Good morning. I just joined this online forum and have a few questions. My MELD is a 7. I have gastropathy and ? Minimal hepatic encephalopathy. I also have some muscle wasting. I am very concerned about all of this which has been uncovered in the last 6 months. I have consulted with a transplant hepatologist and he stated that I have compensated disease. Aren’t the 2 above conditions evidence of decompensation? I am concerned due to the above and ask for a prognosis. Child’s Class A was his response. Is anyone on Carvedilol or rifaximin? I am currently on no medications.
