It has made a non-drinker out of me and hopefully our 15 year old son. I'm 44 and have been a heavy drinker since my teens. About a year ago I began gaining weight in my mid section. I've always been thin but never blessed with a waist.
I just attributed my new belly with mid-age spread and went up a size in pants. This Spring I began having problems with my bowels, cramping, bloating. With all of the new products, and extensive advertising promising to cure such problems, I went the home remedy route Needless to say, June 26th I couldn't take it anymore and went to the doctor whom immediately sent me to the E.

Did I ever expect to do it without a cold beer in my hand?
But, perhaps if I hadn't ever done it, that delicious cold Bud Light wouldn't just be a memory. I am 34 years old, and I went to the emergency room about week ago for extreme stomach pain. I had occasionally vomited blood; I believed it was an ulcer. I didn't think anything about the dark color of my stool, except that I haven't made a solid bowel movement in months, if not a year.
I figured it was all related to my ulcer problem. Boy was I wrong. I have been a heavy drinker since I was about 16 years old. The CT scan revealed my ulcer, which was no surprise, and then the ER doctor asked me to sit down.
I did, and he then revealed to me that I have cirrhosis of the liver. He told me in the best case, I have 17 to 24 months to live. Since I don't have insurance, this is my fate.

She experienced rapid weight loss , jaundice, weakness, swelling in her legs, redness of her hands and feet, and lethargy. Even after her diagnosis, she continued to drink. She has since stopped drinking; however, the damage has been done. My days consist of shuffling my mom to and from different doctor appointments to treat the different ailments that keep arising from her cirrhosis.

My advice is this: Pay attention to your body, get regular check-ups, and if you suspect something is wrong with your liver, insist on a blood test. It only takes one test to see if there is a problem. Early detection and treatment is essential to living a long life. I have alcoholic cirrhosis. I checked my fingers and eyes for yellowish color daily. I became constipated for 10 days before I was able see a doctor. My eyes became yellow as blood was drawn for testing. They told me it was end stage cirrhosis and sent me to a transplant hospital. I stayed a week and was seen by one of the top liver specialists in this hemisphere.
No chance of transplant and I was told I had less than 14 days to survive. No drinking, low protein and sodium diet , and 14 years later I live. My mother is suffering from knee pain , leg muscle pain, vomiting, constipation and hair loss , I think from liver cirrhosis. I'm 31 years old, and I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist on Tuesday. I already know he is going to tell me I have cirrhosis. It's so frustrating because I've been to two different doctors in the past 14 months about this and both of them told me I was perfectly healthy.
I even had blood work done and everything came back normal! I don't know why, but I can just feel that I have it. I have zero pain but many symptoms. These include hemorrhoids , nose bleeds and more recently light sensitivity. On Friday I was having a few beers and I spit up some streaks of blood. I already know what that is, esophageal varices.

Nevertheless, in many studies females were predominant; while, recent studies revealed the antecedence of male in this condition and the current results were comparable with those of them.

This factor represents abdominal obesity, which in patients with NAFLD is usually, but not always, higher than normal. Blood pressure is considered as a manifestation of metabolic syndrome and NASH. An exact cannot be offered, but it could be due to the limited number of participants.
In conclusion, NASH could be presented with different clinical manifestation as long time before the diagnosis. Although fatigue is a common complaint of patients, the consultant must consider other related symptoms. Furthermore, it seems that NASH is not actually a female prominent condition. Moreover, poor quality of sleep and sleep disorder could be considered as the risk factors that should be investigated.
