I was told the same thing by my doctor as NYGirl was. Although liver pain can and is caused when your liver is ailing, it can also cause pain while it is healing. I know Mike made a stink about how ridiulous that suggestion was awhile back that your liver healing can cause pain, so I again brought it up to the doctor and he again said that healing livers do cause pain for some. So I guess it hurts either way, when it is going south and when it is headed towards a healthier status. No gain without pain!
Hang in there Pln, you have had a rough go of it it seems, I hope it eases up for you soon.
NY hows that hand doing? I hope it is healing nicely!
I feel the same as Kalio and NYgirl. I never had liver pain until treatment. And I always thought of it as my liver shrinking from the inflamation. And my platelets were going up to. My doctor said it was a good sign that my liver was improving cause of the platelets going up. He laughed at me cause I thought the platelets were going up cause of the vitamin K I was taking. Which I still believed help me. My platelets hovered around 50-70. Take care, Debi
I had reflux also, Doc has had me on acifex since before tx, I just take one with my morning meds, works great.
I take Aciphex too! It really works. Thanks for posting to me, I was thinking about you and your brain fog (encph..?) and the drugs the dr. gave you. I think I am losing my mind and it is NOT fun. What is the name of the drug your dr. gave you? Is there a test for this, or not? I am going to the dr. today and want to ask about it. Thanks!
Be carful,if you are diagnosed with it and it is written in your chart, you are no longer allowed to drive.
Hey just a quick note cause you guys are the stomach pains crew...if you do happen to take TUMS or something like Malox...make sure you don't take it around the same time as your Riba - or it will HURT WITH THE Riba ABSORPTION.
And even though it sucks...we all need that big time.
Make sure you space it a few hours apart.
