In 2002 I was diagnosed with Lupus, in 2004 when I first met my specialist physician who's now treating my S.L.E - she casually mentioned before discharge that I had cirrhossis. Again she mentioned how bad I was when I went for an app, when I was pregnant in 2008. I always presumed it was an infection of the liver, which would heal in time! Since 2004 I've been in + out of icu (due to my liver + lupus)! Just last week, I read somewhere about cirrhosis - scarring of the liver, which I now understand does not heal by itself in time! If my immune system(lupus) "attacks" my liver, is that a new scarring (cirrhosis) every time I land up in hospital?
I do take prednisone, plasmaquine, ecotrin - lupus. Please can you clue me up on cirrhosis, as I honestly don't know much about it.
