Liver disease, any advice?

I've got it end stage liver disease. How are others coping. Have you heard of the Tips process? anyone had it. Are you better off? Worst off. Problems with unfiltered aluminum in your blood hurting your thinking. Things like that I'd love to hear from you.

I'm so sorry you are facing end stage liver disease. Confused thinking goes with the territory with such a condition, unfortunately, due to ammonia levels in the blood being too high & toxic. You can read all about the TIPS surgical procedure here:

I would think you'd be better off trying the TIPs procedure which may help you, ultimately. My husband just had a liver transplant at the Mayo Clinic in AZ in April, after waiting a year with cirrhosis and liver cancer. He's doing very well in recovery, thankfully, almost 3 months post transplant. Are you not a candidate for transplant? Not everyone is, I know.

Wishing you the best of luck with a very difficult situation.
