Chronic liver disease can affect brain health

Chronic liver disease has the potential to impact brain health in a multitude of ways. One prevalent neurological disorder that arises from liver damage is “hepatic encephalopathy,” which entails the degradation of cognitive function as a result of toxins building up in the bloodstream, typically filtered by the liver. The manifestation of hepatic encephalopathy can encompass symptoms such as…

I was supposed to reblog but my essay got too long. I saw a post saying that Junho could have crawled out of the water on his own because the shot Inho gave him is nonfatal.

The medical student in me is screaming so I decided to make a very nerdy essay.

Junho probably never got to crawl out of the water on his own after being shot. That could be the only reason why he was in a coma that lasted for a year. It’s either he had a concussion or he drowned for too long (more than 5 minutes). Both drowning and concussion (traumatic brain injury) can lead to hypoxia/ anoxia, which means reduced or complete cessation of oxygen in the brain.

The extent of the damage depends on how long oxygen got cut off from the brain and considering Junho was in a coma for a year, the damage was very severe.

But how could he drown if he knows how to swim? There was probably a tide? Or he was too depressed to even try to save himself? I mean did you see his face when he said, “hyung, why?” Bro looked like he lost all emotions. He probably just accepted his fate and didn’t try to fight it.

Extra note: kidney failure can also cause coma! So even if Junho didn’t hit his head nor drown, it could be because of his kidney. Note that all patients who had kidney transplant must take maintenance medications their entire life. I repeat, entire life. I’ve seen a lot of people point this out: we never saw Junho take any medicine in s1 when he is supposed to. That is actually very dangerous since his kidney could—would— fail again. Our kidneys are responsible of eliminating wastes or toxins in our body. Too much accumulated toxins (due to kidney failure) is very harmful to the brain and therefore, stop functioning properly altogether, which will result in a coma.

I didn’t mean for this post to be so long but the medical student in me just acted out again.

Liver Changing Injury

Single cell analysis and advanced 3D imaging techniques in human liver biopsies affected by a metabolic disease reveals trans-differentiation between different types by liver cells (cholangiocytes and hepatocytes) without the activation of stem or progenitor cells as a response to chronic injury

Honestly sooooooo fucked up that I thought my overwhelming daily fatigue and debilitating body pain was a product of the awful working conditions I was under for years and years... and yet, despite being out of work for half a year now, I'm still so fatigued and in pain all the time??? Like come on man that's not fair

Oh well maybe I have liver disease and they'll treat it and then I am magically so much more energized like I was as a kid. We can only hope !!!!

today’s my nephrology appt where i get to find out if my liver is also having problems or if the cold meds I took the week of the blood draws fucked up the results! My kidneys think their job is optional and I’m really hoping they didn’t get evangelical with my liver

Also if I’m still so vitamin D deficient I legally qualify as a vampire!

May come out of the appt with fun new dietary restrictions but I’m less worried about that as I am about my liver tbh

In other non MK related news my mental health is really in the shitter today. I know most people who see this won’t care but I use tumblr as an outlet for my emotions. I’m really reeling from my hepatology appointment yesterday, I’ve known my kidneys were bad for a while because tacrolimus is a horrible, wicked, two-sided drug, on the one hand it keeps my body from destroying my heart but on the other hand it ruins my kidneys but I had no clue anything was wrong with my liver. The doctor said living with my childhood condition of left ventricular failure for 14 years caused irreversible liver damage. I just, I don’t know what to do. I just want to cry but for some reason I can’t. I’ve always known I was living on borrowed time ever since my heart transplant but now with having so many issues with so many vital organs it seems like my time is running out sooner than I expected. I guess 25 years was a good run but it seems so fucking ironic and unfair that I finally don’t want to die and I will. I get the feeling my celebration trip I planned for later this year will probably be my final vacation, so I guess I better try and enjoy it as much as I can. I’m not necessarily sad for myself but Denny won’t understand why I’m gone and that really breaks my heart. He’s such a good boy and I love him so much I don’t want to do anything that will make him sad. At least I’ll get to be reunited with Jäger if anything in life is even remotely fair.

Tuesday me decided that Wednesday me was going to do paperwork stuff and post things.

Wednesday me was fatigued to fuck and paralysed unable to move on with anything like eating or stuff because of the demand avoidance stress of having this thing I had to do.

Then Wednesday me remembered that actually it could fucking wait. So then I felt better and ate stuff and adulted a bit in other ways. I also did a lot of laying on the sofa too.

So today me is going to post the thing and get coconut barista style milk and pasta for tea. Also today me rocks because I went into the hospital and had appointments and stuff. So today me gets a wispa too.

The first pic is on the post of an earring. Small. And I FUCKING HATE IT. It's a spore of Aspergillus fungus. We found out it's in our house. It's made me very sick. And it took our beautiful asshole away from us.

Midnight had a human-level intelligence and was a delightful jerk. She was 15. Aspergillus fungus and orbital/sinus cancer. The vet assured us that we did the kind thing today.

And now I've got leverage, in a way. I've been having Aspergilliosis symptoms for months now. Can't shake it because I have multiple immune disorders. Even had an Infectious Diseases specialist tell me I had Delusional Parasitosis.

My dead cat would beg to differ, bitch.

Her saying that put me in a deep hellscape for 3 days, because I thought I didn't know what was real. Then I thought "hey, what the actual fuck," and started advocating better...remembering all the SCORES of ways the US health system has failed me.

I plan on being a SEVERE asshole in plenty of asses.

Oh how I've never related more. As a chronically ill person, I'm always aspiring to be someone, something. To do something and live a life I've always dreamed. Yet my illnesses prevent me from doing so much.

People often tell me I use it as an excuse. God, I wish it was one. Then it would be simple to get over it in comparison. But it isn't. I'm ill. And my life is different than others.

“slut era” i whisper to myself as i rot in my bed, sick like a frail victorian child
