Liver disease itching: What helps?

Jeanne, Thanks for refreshing my memory.
For a long time, I looked well, too. And when I told friends that I had liver disease, they 'knew' that I was misdiagnosed. Later, when I did start to look and act unwell, those same people asked me why I hadn't told them about it. Sigh! And that is not mentioning all of the cures that they knew about, when they could not even pronounce my disease.
On the bright side for you - Remember that you have the present time, with low MELD and symptoms, to focus on taking care of yourself. Healthy eating and maintaining a level of activity and fitness will be to your advantage.
It is a good feeling when we know that our crazy medical path will benefit others sometime.
I hope your tests will get the information that the docs are looking for. Keep in touch.

Hi I’m brand new here. I ran across this in a search on medicines I’ve been prescribed ! RIFAXMIN AND URSIDIOL
I am not sure I need these yet . I had HCC - they ablated the liver where I had the growth and after 6 week checkup - I’m well and my meld is an 8 and my blood work looks real good. But because I sd I am a bit forgetful and sometimes I forget words they prescribed me this medication with lactulose- they want me to “go” 5 times a day ??? I had gastric sleeve 4 yrs ago . Ain’t no way I’m “going”five times . And they gave these antibiotics. I don’t think I need them yet. I am not swollen or anything my liver doesn’t hurt . I don’t want to take medication. That lactulose is GROSS! I may vomit 5 times taking it ! Anyway I am going to call them . I think I’m forgetful and just move to fast due to adhd and other mental disorders that make me a bit “ dingy” but not due to liver . I’ve seen people who were that sick . Idk but I’m going to talk again to my drs. What is the opinion here guys? Thank you for letting me join. Also I’m on the transplant list - because I have had the cancer HCC.
