Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 --- Thank you for that encouraging post. Yes, I'm very lucky to have met all of you here and learned alot of things about controlling my pain and managing my condition. I even told my doctor about all of the tips I had been given....especially the epson salts trick, and he was impressed! Yep, a doctor who thought the alternative, natural treatments were much better than suffering! I'm still going to take all of the help I can get from here.....who knows how long it will be till surgery! Plus, I fully plan on maintaining my liver health regimin! Thanks again for everything!
