@techi Lisa, you may want to ask your Liver doctor or hepatoligist (sp?) about adding lactulose to the xifaxin in order to aid the elimination of toxins in your body. This combination worked well for me. I am sorry to hear that you were admitted to the psych ward for this. I alos was jn the hospital over Christmas but in reality it was the safest place for me with the complications I had. Be well.
Lisa, I am happy that you thought of me! I received a surprise phone call from a girlfriend today, and now I get a message from you. I am ready to do a happy dance.
I am sorry to hear that you have spent so much time in and out of medical/hospital care. Nobody ever promised us a smooth ride, did they? I feel that your doctors are trying to get your system in order, and are referring you to get the necessary treatment to do that. I think that I might have an idea of why the liver doctor wants to see you again, and that is to check the ammonia levels after you have been back on the medicine. There must be some reason that they are going up and down, that is why it is important to take the meds as directed, and to keep the follow-ups.
I know that you enjoyed the time with grandchildren, and they must have been happy that you were back home again. I will be going to grandchild's birthday party tomorrow and I will enjoy watching the kids running about and having real kiddie fun!
I hope your health continues on the mend during 2019.
Are your new doctors nearby? Will you return to Rochester for the liver doctor? Let me know how you are doing.
Hugs.
