I ready yesterday or the day before here on this forum about a boook by a Dr. Melissa Palner who I believe is a Hepatologist.

I was curious so I looked her up on Amazon.com to see how costley her book would be and there was quite reasonable and they had new and used copies.

For the life of me, I can't figureout who menitoned thie book and apologize.

But I wanted to share with all of you that are dealting with theis liver stuff, this is truly a must have book. I have already ordered one for myself and another to be shipped to my neice. Right now, Barb is getting worse since last Friday when we went back to Piedmont for her appt .

Today they are checking to see if has had a stroke or something as her is very letharigic and exgremely bad coofdenation.

The only things that can be done (once again) is for people to pray for her and hopefully this will pass. If nt I freally do no want her to just lay in that hospital bed until she dies.

Please help us with the support of thoughts and prayers. You people are the best to me:-)

" It may have been me who mentioned it (and maybe not...I forget) but I do have that book and have found it has some good reading. I find myself reading it even after my transplant, as I don't remember alot because my encephalopathy was rather bad. "

" Hi Ladies. What is the name of this book? You've piqued my curiosity and I try to read all I can. The best way to get educated is doing it yourself. I have to practically drag information out of doctors. My thoughts are with you and your niece, hoping things are looking up. "
