Hello everyone:
I am new at this so here goes. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cirrhosis over a year ago. I have since lost my job because of insurance costs and have no medical insurance and have not seen a doctor in months.
The diagnosis was Stage 4 Cirrhosis caused by fatty liver a little over a year ago. I had a biopsey and this is what they found out. I don't drink and hardly eat and have not lost any weight. From what I have read here my weight will knock me out of a tranceplant. I have been throwing up nearly everytime I eat so, I am only eating a small amount of dinner and then only then because my husband says I have to put something into my body. When he works late, I don't eat and tell him that I did. My confusion is so bad that I set the kitchen on fire 3 times. I don't cook anymore unless my husband is here or I use the crockpot. I have been very sick and exhausted for a few years and now it is getting worse.... a Lot worse. Some days I can hardly lift my head up and the pain, most days it is indescribable. I am also confused most days and some days it is bad. My muscles ache so bad now on top of the liver pain, it keeps me awake at night or either I cry in my sleep and it wakes my husband up. Does anyone have any clues as to what my options are for healthcare? My husband only makes $40,000 a year and the state says that is too much. What can I expect now??
I hope someone can make since of this... I have trouble putting any thoughts out the right way.
