meld from mayo

Wifeof - I dont know if he will let this kill him. I find it hard to believe he doesnt know it will though if he carries on.
I mean he must surely know - irrespective of what he is saying about being around for years.

At the end of the day - having never met him I really cant say what hes "up to" there to be honest.

On the other hand - I never knew how much damage I was doing to myself by drinking so much - I simply thought people got liver problems if they were 70 years old and REALLY unlucky. So maybe he doesnt know either???????

But then with symptoms like he has - and that he himself can see - surely he knows what is happening there?

No - im going round in circles and I dont have enough information to say what he will do in the long run. I know from on here that there are a couple of people who did not stop and they did not make it.

I know there are others who did stop and survived due to transplant.

I dont know anyone who carried on drinking AND got a transplant though.

Can he be taken to A and E yet - now that his eyes are yellow again and he can barely walk?
I am sure he can - on or off the booze they would surely admit him and maybe that will help keep him off the booze totally for a while and give him a head start for when he gets out.

Natasha - ignore davids rantings - please check your email - you will know what you see isnt from a nobody.
My source is to be kept anonymous pls.

David - whatever - you are totally in the dark and yet so totally thinking you are enlightened. You are funny.

All I see is a lot of talk, with nothing to back it up. Natasha, ignore my "rantings." Better to take advice from someone who hasn't been to a doctor. Who's really in the dark? MrA, there's nothing funny about misinformation that you are dispensing here. If you have a "somebody," to back up your claims, prove it. I promise to keep your source anonymous and if you're correct, I'll make a public apology right here.

i always read any replies and thank people for them. i like to gather different opinions. especially and more so the opinions of people who have lived through this and come out the other side. the only advice i would actually ever act on, medically, would be from my hubbys g.p. i am in a weak position emotionally and with regards to knowledge on this subject but would never be so naive to act on advice from anyone other than our own doctor.
i know there is history here between certain people and i understand why it frustrates you.
i also dont want there to be bad feelings.
i do not consider your opinions to be rantings david, you have helped me enormously and i really hope you will continue to do so.
thank you again for all the messages.xxnatasha.xx

LOL - Ive even told WifeofD to do just that and stick with doctors advice (not that it was required of me to do so).

If I can help find a MELD calculator in the UK form - I will.

It is a simple thing - we are not talking about anything monumental here or anything that even closely resembles "advice".

You are just a stirring nit picker david.

I am glad that you help others - in a more experienced and indepth manner. But here again - yet again - your presence on this thread is NOT TO HELP - but just to flame me.

You are a liar and you know it - you also know that I know it.

thanks sandia, i do feel more in charge of things now!!. amazing what a bit of distance can do to sort your head out!. again, many thanks for all the support i have received here, i hope one day i will also be able to offer some support to others.xxnatasha.xx
