Cirrhosis Support Group
Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease, most commonly caused by alcoholism and hepatitis C. Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis and is associated with a poor quality of life, increased risk of infections, and a poor long term outcome. Liver damage from cirrhosis cannot be reversed, but treatment can stop or delay further progression and...
I have been having these dreams that are so obscure. I wake not being able to actually remember them but the one clear message in them is that I am being sought out by an evil entity. I can not articulate this into words. It is just a giant darkness. I feel emotionally and spiritually spent upon waking. Like my soul has been ripped out of my torso.
I have not been given a diagnosis but I really have more than reasonable suspicion that I have severely damaged my liver. I have some itching, odd headaches, muscle loss, blood clots slowly, skin changes, a little forgetful here and there. Oh, and a almost persistent dull aching with a few jabbing jolts. It does radiate to by back as I have read. Although some of these symptoms also are common with xanax (benzodiazopine) withdrawal which I am currently going through.
But I work sometimes all day moving furniture, swim a bit, bike at sustained speeds for several miles, I do not feel tired or suffer from any fatigue, have a great appetite, and even a decent libido for a 46 year old male. I do not sleep much at all. Once in a while I do nod off for a half an hour here and there. The odd thing is if i do feel a bit tired during the day, that sense of sleepiness in much more enjoyable than any type of tiredness i have at night. Kooky!!
Thanks,

Thanks,
I thought you were done with the benzos???
I walked around in a fog of impending doom for almost a year after I got off of benzos...I felt like shattered glass and mentally fragile.
Fact is, all you can do is live healthy...regardless of the damage.
Part of living healthy is choosing what thoughts to dwell upon.
All this self diagnosis is mentally and spiritually unhealthy...
it can and will affect your physical health.
I have chosen to believe in a good prognosis...despite my confirmed liver damage. There is nothing else to do, but to treat myself well. See what I'm saying???
If you are no longer poisoning your liver, BE HAPPY AND HEAL!!
I am trying to tire myself out so i can sleep. Luckily the duration of the last dosages was somewhat short. First week was horrible.
Thanks for the smelling salts Lev. The fixating does no good. Distractions are good. I have a bathroom I need to install this Winter.
I just feel so hjorrible in the mornings. It takes an hour after I do get a few hours of dreaded sleep.
