Hepatic encephalopathy is horrible. I’ve had that. Umm ascites, jaundice, edema, I got inguinal hernia from ascites. Got like 20 lbs drained countless times.

You're lucky to be pre transplant and be somewhat heathy. After I was diagnosed with cirrhosis I quit drinking, went to a specialist and started having blood tests done until the numbers (of my blood test) got so bad and I had to be admitted to the hospital twice for blood transfusions. My body was eating my red blood cells. I'm now 3 years post transplant and walk a lot. LOL

I"ve always enjoyed hearing your experiences for the last few months of watching your videos. It would be cool to see you do a fun episode, like at a park or something to remind people how you still enjoy life to the fullest despite your diagnosis.

[@fortressfarms82]

You got it! 😊

[@marcusm555]

@fortressfarms82 the hot peanuts challenge with your friends was great to watch. Forgot you had liver disease and my own.

[@barneshomestead1240]

You seem to be holding out pretty well to me. I assume you're still waiting on a compatible transplant & trying to maintain stability. I lost my sister to a plethora of health issues & hate we didn't catch her issues a lot sooner...thanks for sharing your experiences.

Physically, the itching and joint pain is the worst. Mentally, the anxiety stops me doing things I was not previously worried about.

Mee too COL since feb 23

It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of your videos, but it’s good to see you looking healthy. And I really like what I heard from you and it makes sense.

[@MonaYY_Rig]

Hi Nick 🎉. It’s good to see you looking really good. I’m glad you’re here. I hope you continue to be well. Get better and stay safe. Please take care of yourself my friend, hugs to you. Mona 💚

Joy killing fatigue, joint pain, skin issues! I am shivering cold even on warm days. Sleep deprivation makes me a zombie. I’ve always been pretty tough but this is about to be more than I can do. My people don’t understand and I don’t have good doctors. Feeling pretty hopeless. I appreciate you Nick, wish you better days ahead.

[@fortressfarms82]

You will get there my friend. Just keep trucking forward!

Right there with every single symptom. Don’t leave out splenic artery aneurysms. I use Xifaxin for HE. It works fantastic and they allow me to only use lactulose when my mind goes wacko because I can tell it. My platelets run around 100 and I sometimes get spontaneous bleeding from my mouth. My blood is extremely thin which is normal and add that on to a huge spleen and put an aneurysm in the mix and it could be disastrous if in an accident. Muscle wasting is horrible after 15 years of this, but hey I am still here. Just keep churning along. I have horrible neuropathy which is another side effect. Add that onto the itching and I almost go mad. I take a Benadryl if terribly itchy and sometimes need atarax when it gets out of control. My side gets what is like a catch in it that literally makes me scream as it takes my breath. This stuff is no fun and I am too exhausted to think about sex honestly.

[@valerielock2374]

My side does that when I lean forward sometimes. I thought it was from where they took my gallbladder out but I guess it's my liver😢

[@valerielock2374]

My platelets are at 117

[@rhondaharmon724]

@@valerielock2374 nope. It is from where the liver gets stiff and scared down. They told me at Mayo unless the platelets got below 50, they do nothing. Bruises are terrible.

[@evaacosta4832]

I have fatty liver. Trying to prevent cirrhosis

[@RealZayComo]

Hello are you always bloated? 🙏

[@SpectralUltra]

It's like nothing any more for me. I cured my severe chirrhosis with daily 3 capsules of Milk Thisle and 1 Serrapeptace. Detaining from booze for 9 months. Now I can drink moderately now and then and I feel no effect of the disease. Blood work is good and liver epitel had smoothen, due to Serrapeptace breaking up scar and dead tissue. Strongly recommend these suppliments.

[@MobileGifte]

You must stop drinking streaght away you are killing yourself dont think its gone away it has not its still their only you can save yourself no one else No doctors can help you its down to you live or die

[@lynnepaquette4124]

I'm really scared. Weakness but can't sleep, really itchy, can barely hold a conversation I'm always nervous and confused. So much pain and nausea my mental health is shot. I'm holding onto hope.

[@mikeoxlong920]

I was the same way when I first quit im 11 months sober next week it gets better you just have to tough out the first 2-3 months then it slows starts noticeably getting better

[@kathykeener3523]

Hang in there Dude!

[@navagatingthroughthebeasts2908]

Im sure you have looked into everything but have you looked into organic coffee enemas ? I know sounds crazy / gross but if you haven't maybe KZbin / google some info. Said a prayer for you thanks 👍
