    • About Me

      Retired from IT Marketing. Looking to add hope and joy to our world... From Desiderata, by Max Erhmann... Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

      I have ESLD. Stopped drinking in Jan 07. Repeated Paracentisis for almost a year. Kidney failed due to electrolyte imbalance. Had TIPS, March 08. Meld dropped from 17 to 12 and now is 7. Was on transplant list, now am off.

      Treatments

      Lactulose Working / Worked
      working pretty well. Severe impact to daily schedule.
      Xifaxan Working / Worked
      Reduces my lactulose dependancy. Can go with one or two treatments per day without severe encepalopathy.
