It's the encephalopathy that causes the confusion and the reversed sleep

pattern. I watched my wife go through this as well. Make sure she takes her

lactulose.

My heart goes out to you. It's a tough disease to watch someone go through.

Has she been evaluated for a liver transplant?

The fatigue has taken over... She is not who she used to be, and thats the sad

part about it. I am confused alot about this illness.... and for the most part,

it really hurts seeing her go through all of this.

Who made the decision not to have her evaluated for the liver transplant? The

only ones who can make that call are the doctors at the transplant center. Her

regular doctor does not make that decision. I would make another doctor

appointment and insist she be looked at by a transplant center. The edema

(swelling of the feet/ankles) is not a good sign. Does she have ascites?

(swelling of the abdomen).

My wife was 31 when she passed away.
