Another thing I'm still coming to terms about is my cirrhosis, but at least it shouldn't get worse, and may even improve as the inflammation goes away. So, a new normal for me....but a MUCH better outlook that before!

Hi Semisweet,

What great a great result for four weeks in. One of the things I really noticed as the meds started working was the ability to see/think clearly. Your liver will be appreciating the relief already.

Hey semisweet! That is SUH-WHEET news. That was no doubt music to your ears even before that song started playing

Speaking of joyful sounds ... Best to you for continued success in sounding the death knoll for your longtime foe.
