Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I am praying for you . It just isn't fair that along with this monster sarc we also get hit by other things constantly. But this is life and we deal with what we get. God bless you and keep you in his arms. Jackie Hello Everyone, news from liver doc yesterday I want to start by saying Happy New Year and I hope this year brings everyone some peace and some pain free days. "WE ALL COULD USE IT" I was at the liver doc yesterday and i was amazed he spent over an hour with me.. not in and out. But along with this brought more bad news. as you all know i crashed in nov 08 and have not been able to get back up .. well i had to have a cat-scan of my abdomen due to sever pain and when i stand you can see a buldge on right and left side and my abdomen is swellon... the liver doc looked at the films for over a half hour along with another doc and he said I have Portal hypertention. so i had 6 tubes of blood drawn and i am waiting for a call from the specialist nurse to schudle a procedure where he said they will make an insision in my neck at the jugular and go down to my liver ..he also said they can try to reduce the pressure with drugs.. and one which i am already on called propanolal but he said it will take a much higher dose. I wish everyone a pain free day and love you all in Pa Many blessings and a pain free day Please support Neurosarcoidosis society Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I know they say when it rains it pours...but this really sucks. Here's my prayer that the docs will figure this out and get you 'back on your feet' as they say. At least you got a good enough doc that really took his time and let's all hope and pray he's got you on a road to better days. hugs S.Life is short...live it to the fullest...to your last living breath.Subject: Hello Everyone, news from liver doc yesterdayTo: Neurosarcoidosis Date: Wednesday, January 6, 2010, 5:52 PM I want to start by saying Happy New Year and I hope this year brings everyone some peace and some pain free days.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 , Are you using the Milk Thistle Capsules? This will help get your liver detoxified, and that too will help with the portal hypertension. had just stated the other day that she too is dealing with PH. You might want to pick her brain on that issue.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 , I am so sorry to hear of this dx, and I pray that the treatment will be a huge success and you will be feeling better soon, I know like everything else we end up with, it's not a over night fix, so know that you will continue to be in my prayers, I do pray for all of us, as we all deal with so much, so many drugs, tests, etc. but hang in there, I just know there are brighter days ahead. blessings, Marla I want to start by saying Happy New Year and I hope this year brings everyone some peace and some pain free days.
