I’ve always firmly believed in the importance of learning how to, and practicing, eating well, exercising, and using natural herbs/supplements to remain as healthy as possible. This worked well until I turned 60 and was shortly thereafter diagnosed with PBC/liver cirrhosis. Then my research became focused on my disease and learning natural ways to supplement ursodial to help keep my liver functioning. So, since my transplant a whole new realm of research is required! Including, of course, drug interactions and side effects management, and how to avoid getting diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, and other diseases common post transplant. I do believe it’s vital that I try my best to be healthy and to know the best path to achieve this. Plus, for me anyway, gaining knowledge keeps me from being depressed and keeps my mind active and away from focusing on current health issues, Covid, not finding employment, etc.
