Thoughts are with both of you guys.

Weezer - Sounds like you aren't feeling too good this week. I know every day is a struggle and I'm thinking about you buddy. Hang in there and keep fighting my friend.

I was diagnosed with nash in 2014, my doctor didnt seem to stress the seriousness of the situation. After reading this thread and researching online I decided to switch doctors. Went for my first visit and the doctor explained my liver biopsy results from 2014(something my old doctor never did) the results were 80% fatty infiltration of the liver and stage 2-3 fibrosis. Needless to say im kind of overwhelmed at the moment. I switched my diet to a Mediterranean diet last week and cut out anything with high fructose corn syrup. Im not sure what the 2 and a half years of the same old junk food diet i was eating did to progress it since i had my biopsy in 2014 to last week. Ive started exercising every evening as well. Ive been following this thread for a little while and starting an account just to say Im praying for you weezer. I believe you will get your transplant.

That's horrible that your first doctor didn't take your condition more serious. My dad had cirrhosis as well, though mine was diagnosed first. We had no idea he even had it until I read a report about his gall bladder scan. It mentioned he had cirrhosis. I asked him if he knew about it and he said the doctor never told him. His cirrhosis became cancer and he passed last June. I often wonder if things would have been different if his doctor hadn't missed/ignored that diagnosis.

My prayers are with you. What I'm going through, the problems I've faced, I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the show last night. Would have loved to have been there, but I was laid up.

It's sad that the doctored failed to mention that to him. I can't help but wonder how much damage I could have saved myself if my doctor had stressed the seriousness of it. My new doctor seems to be knowledgeable about the condition. He told me to eat a healthy diet and lose 10% of my body weight. Blood tests showed no diabetes and all tests were normal other than slightly elevated liver enzymes. The doctor said my enzyme levels looks like someone that is just on a bad diet. Hopefully he can get me on the right path. Thank you all for the words of encouragement.

I've cut back tremendously on carbs. Any carbs I eat are whole grain instead of white. Mostly eating salads with olive oil and baked salmon and chicken. For breakfast I have a protein shake. I've started taking a multivitamin, NAC, and milk thistle. We will see how much weight I can cut in 6 months and try blood work again. Being as young as I am(24), you take your health for granted until you find stuff like this. I have no problem with people having a drink here and there by It drives me nuts seeing people smoking and throwing beers back all day every day.

Ah Weezer... I pray for a miracle for you.

I've reached the age I quit looking at my FB page because almost every time I open it there is another obituary of a friend from long times gone.

May God grant you a miracle.

And here on VN your internet friends will lift a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne.

God Bless

Collapsed into a sleep coma last night. Been so tired lately. Had to be woken up this afternoon to go to my paracentesis. Had over 9 liters drained.

So much has happened the past few weeks. Don't feel like going into details at the moment, but it's been rough.

For an idea of how much weight I lose when they drain me, a liter is approximately 2.2 pounds. So the last several times I've been drained, they've gotten close to 20lbs each time.

You must feel pretty bloated towards the end of the two weeks then?

Had to go to the ER yesterday to make sure I didn't have an active stomach bleed. After my para on Wed, I had a small bruise. The bruise is now enormous and wraps around my body. Probably going to spend the day in bed as I feel horrible. Couldn't stop shaking last night. Not quite sure why. They did a CT and didn't find a bleed, but I swear the bruise is continuing to grow.

Moral support and prayers/positive thoughts. Hopefully I'll live, but I've come to peace that I may not. All I can do is wait, and deal with things as they come.
