Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Welcome Tonna, I'm sorry to hear of your husband's cirrhosis. There is a wealth of info here and people who are in it, have been through it and their caretakers. Jump in with your questions or shared info. I was caretaker for my mother and she experienced encephalopathy, ascites and itching as your dh is. Mom's doc had her take fish oil for the itch and it worked for her. Also keeping her lactulose meds going were essential for her encephalopathy. Best to you and your dh on this tough journey. Pamela " My husband was diagnosed in December 2006 with end-stage liver cirrhosis. He suffers with the mental encephalopathy, ascites, itching of the skin. He is currently on the liver transplant list. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
