Hi I have been on Mayo’s site before but not for a couple of months. My name is Gail Duffey and the grandchildren call me GeMa. Yes I have been diagnosis with both and compensated cirrhosis last year. Been having BP issues also on 2 pills for that, have lost 75lbs and #’s running 106/73 and I feel I could get off of one but Dr said no. Also has prescribed injection for cholesterol insurance denied, now 2 other pills even though it’s gone down last 6 months. I wish my hepatologist would take over all my meds. I’m just not comfortable as there’s been other issues. This disease is nothing to guess at for care. Thank You

Hi Gail, it's so important to have confidence in your doctor and to be able to work together. I'm tagging other members who have experience with NAFLD and cirrhosis who may be able to share their strategies and treatments for controlling cholesterol, like. @jeanne5009 @trellg132 @rashida @jessiccab

Congrats on losing the weight and reducing your blood pressure. Have you discussed goals with your doctor? Is pill reduction a possibility in the future if your numbers continue to improve due to lifestyle changes?
