@rosemarya I’ve been tired from the start. However, the exhaustion came upon me this summer. I teach 24 hours per week and seem to do nothing but rest so I can work!

Been on the list since June 2017. Had a MELD of 26 at one point.

kitchrmn, My fatigue came on gradually, and then it hit hard. I was thankful that breathing was automatic because didn't n=have to initiate that action. I was fortunate to have a wonderful assistant and a team teaching situation, so that I could manage to slip out of the classroom on some days when my role was not essential.
It is uncomfortable for me to say that I am happy that your score is rising, but I really am because I hope that you will be eligible for your transplant sooner.
Is your next appointment in 3 months? That seems to be the standard schedule for most liver patients that I have talked to. Do you have to travel far to go to your transplant center?
