A Healing Liver Miracle

Daily Gratitude
#1

I was diagnosed (at age 32) with cirrhosis and spend so much of my time with doctors I almost feel like one myself (note: I am absolutely not a doctor).

I began working with an entire hepatology team to get me prepared to go on a transplant list, started taking medications, and most importantly, quit drinking. I had a positive outlook and started doing (when manageable) things I enjoy a lot more: travel, cooking, museums, volunteer work.

That initial diagnosis was in December of 2021, and since then my liver has gotten healthier—healthy enough that a transplant is unlikely and I should be able to live a mostly normal, comfortable life.

Health comes before everything else, and it’s a true gift when hard work pays off.

I got Hep C which also damaged my liver. My liver is also healing now that I’ve stopped using and was cured of the virus. I’m so glad to heard yours is too! That’s awesome!

That’s fantastic! I don’t know about your journey, but for a while I had 5-8 doctors appts a week, was routinely going to the ER, and on 4 medications. Just staying patient and positive really made this miracle happen for me.

That's something to be so grateful for as I was in a similar situation plus kidney failure. The liver holds miraculous regenerative properties with the right meds, healthy diet & positive mindset :clap:. My secret ingredient was finding will/purpose to help me heal. Keep conjuring your magic :slightly_smiling_face:
