You should never drink alcohol again, do not take ibuprofen at all, only take up to 2000 mg of Tylenol per day. Stay away from recreational drugs. It sounds like you are very close to having a liver transplant due to cirrhosis. you gotta take care of yourself buddy you only have one liver and liver. Transplants are not fun.

@dglass4040 what about Gabapentin? That is used as a pain killer for some with fatty liver …

Thanks Dik - I am actually fortunate enough to not be near needing a transplant which I am so very grateful - and my apologies I should not have put my original post on the Transplant section but I did not notice - I only saw a question from someone else about liver disease - sorry!
My condition is stable and believed to be stopped for progress and the ascites has cleared and is being controlled currently by diuretics. My liver stiffness is 9.0 kPA and my bloodwork is all good - my ultrasounds say fairly homogenous and has cirrhotic morphology but my last two did not say nodular contour - just fairly homogenous and mild irregularity and the on radiologist stated his impression was hepatic steatosis but my GP is saying no he is not correct and it is cirrhosis. Cannot wait to see the hepatologist and what the next Elastology results and ultrasound will be in April - crossing my fingers and saying so many prayers!! In the meantime I am doing my best as that is all I can do. Thanks!!
