@livertrex I too welcome you to Connect.
When I had cirrhosis I too had HE episodes but mine were distinct and did not have a constant affect on me. Do you have a pretty much constant state of mild confusion and dizziness? Some of my episodes did land me in the hospital and my ammonia was very high. I also had episodes that I could just sleep off. The more serious ones were really bad. I remember most of them, but there are a few I do not. I have very vague memories of getting to the hospital when I had serious episodes. They were very scary for me, I felt like I was losing my mind.

The first episode is how I found out that I had liver cancer, because they did a CT scan. Then I had several issues my temperature went up and I had to go to ER once again. They put a needle in my side and pumped all this fluid out. I guess it's part of the liver failure. I am on an adventure. Learning about things all along the path. i didn't know that this was a path that I would be taking, but trying to make the best of it. It's just hard to work because I bump into walls and I'm afraid to drive to work, and I'm also very confused it's hard to make good decisions.
