hepatic encephalopathy or brain fog
Hi guys. I am at 2/3 of my 48 weeks now.
Before treatment I was experiencing already something that I would describe as brain fog.
Then it seemed was better and now again I have it. It is usually starts around 10 am or later and last until I get home. So it cover me over at work when
I need my brain most. I am afraid that I could have cirrhosis already so I am wondering weather it is brained fog so often experienced on treatment or
symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. Reading on internet gave em impression that symptoms could be similar for early encephalopathy.
Do you guys have any experience of comments on this subject.
I found test on internet to diagnose encephalopathy... it is basically to connect random numbers on paper. I was able to connect all of them
close to 30 sec. even one longer. Than I printed it out again and had better time around 20-25 sec. but still worried about exceeding 30 sec for one test on first attempt. Can any of you guys who experiencing brain fog try it and let me know your results with it.
Here is link to it.

When treatment ends and assuming it was successful, doesn't seem like a biopsy would provide much medical benefit. Fill some curiosity maybe, but not be much use for decision making.
No I was scared to get final verdict and confirm my suspicions even I understand that worrying about it is not better at all so I am planning to undergo it after the treatment.
I had platelets around 225 so hopefully if it is cirrhosis then at early stage.

You are able to open a new thread and compose a cogent post. 32 weeks of this treatment can have numbing effects on the body and the mind. Blame it on the meds.
When you say that you could have cirrhosis already, did you have a liver biopsy before you started, results of that?
