@rowdyramsey I see that @rosemarya has already answered your question, but I just wanted to say, that I too had HE episodes. I was transplanted in September 2016. For a very short time after that, I still didn't feel totally back to being myself but I did quickly. My HE episodes were much less frequent than yours. After my hepatologist prescribed xifaxan I had almost a year of no episodes.

What is happening that makes you feel you have brain damage? If it's getting worse I doubt it would be from HE episodes prior to transplant.

@rowdyramsey, Here is how to start a new discussion. This is a good question and I encourage you to begin a new discussion about "Hephepatic encephalopathy after liver transplant.
All you need is a Title, and an opening question. If you need more assistance let me know.
Here are the instructions:

@rowdyramsey I suffered from HE episodes prior to transplant. My first (and worst) was when I was diagnosed with liver disease. I fell into a coma and life was touch and go for about 3 weeks. For 4-5 months i lost my memory and couldn't differentiate what day it was even month what it was. I forgot my address, telephone number and all other important information. Once wait listed my HE episodes lessened but I was taking lactulose and rifaxamin to counter act them. This eventually passed but I have dizzy spells now of and on. I received my liver Nov 28th 2018. I am just now able to remember things but the past 3 years are a complete blur. Be easy on yourself. Remember everyone heals differently and some people take longer than others.
