is there hope?

[norbob]

I have primary billary cirrhosis and a friend of mine has been told she is now dying of Cirrhosis. My question is : can't she be put on liver dialysis until a liver can be found? I've been told it's too late that her organs are shuting down.

I wish you would stop posting to every single person here who has serious problems and inserting those disgusting meant to be shocking pictures to people reaching out for help.
Enough is enough. I think they get it that intrahepatic stones can cause everything from A-Z according to your posts.
Do you really think a liver cleansing and flush is the answer to everyone's problem? What is your problem? Go find another forum to advertise on.
And do you really and truly believe that telling someone who has Primary Biliary Cirrhosis or is in the end stages is going to take some herbs like milkthistle etc and just miraculously get better? I think you are annoying.
Stop posting those ugly gallstone and liver pictures. People on here are intelligent enough to know that YOU do not have the answer,  the panacea for everyone's serious problems. Wouldn't life be a bowl of cherries, (not stones like you say) if that were the case?

Taylee,

I don't think that language you are using is appropriate for public support forum.
Information provided by Patriot was of great help, my pain is all gone!  Of course, it may not be of help for everyone, but nothing is helpfull for everyone. Every person should find what works for them ...

Taylee, I think you should become familiar with Netiquette Guidelines.  These guidelines help prevent problems on public support forums & discussion boards.


I didn't invent these guidelines, it has been around on the web for years ...

============================
Netiquette Guidelines

1. Staying On Topic - This forum is set up for your use, with a charter of acceptable subject matter.

2. Language and Flaming - Posting extremely foul or abusive language aimed at a fellow forum members is forbidden. This includes obscenities, verbal harassment or comments that would prove offensive based on race, religion, sex, age, opinions or sexual orientation. If you disagree with someone, (it happens
sometimes) do not attack them personally, the rest of the forum  members do not need to be subjected to bickering.


3. Watch how you express your emotions and humour within your mail. Due to the lack of vocal and non-verbal clues, we often need something extra to read into a message what was intended - such as “emoticons” or descriptive words.

Also, remember that we have members from all over the world, and that some may not have a firm grasp of the English language. Sometimes it helps to use an 'emoticon' to express what you *feel* beyond what the words *say*. (see
http://www.nmia.com/~lhxavier/emoticon.htm,
http://www.xnet.com/~gwilliam/emoticon.html, or
http://www.cs.stedwards.edu/~imzadi/plan/emoticons.html)

4. If this forum is supposed to be a support forum, avoid posting unsupportive messages! Remember, if something didn't work for you, that still doesn't mean that it will not work for other people!!!   We are all unique! Let other members have their own opinions and beliefs!!!

=================================
BREACH OF THESE GUIDELINES MAY RESULT IN A WARNING FROM THE FORUM ADMINISTRATOR & MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT BARRING FROM THE FORUM.
=================================


It would be good if this discussion ends here ...


To patriot!

I did flush and I indeed got a lot of stones out.
No more pain! Thank you!


sincerely

"staying on topic"....etc.

I thought the topic here was PBC and liver dialysis.

Norbob, many hospitals have liver dialysis machines. They are usually used as a "bridge" to transplant. (They keep someone alive until a suitable donor organ can be found.) They're only in Intensive Care Units, at certain hospitals.

[imkindly]

Mayo Clinic's got one

University of Minnesota's got one

UCSD (California), Univ. of Chicago, Massachusetts General Hospital, University of Pittsburgh, University of Virginia, Emory (Atlanta), and University of Miami, all have one

Hi Taylee,

As hard as it is to do, just try and ignore them. And just so you know, there are several others here who feel the same as you.
