#cirrhosis of the liver

[drramchandrasoni]

Liver cirrhosis is a serious condition characterized by the formation of regenerative nodules surrounded by fibrous tissue, resulting from long-term liver damage. This progressive disease can lead to portal hypertension and ultimately result in end-stage liver disease. Fortunately, recent advances in understanding its natural progression and the mechanisms behind it, as well as improved management strategies for its complications, have provided new hope for those affected. Today, enhanced treatment options are available, significantly improving patients’ quality of life and longevity.

ooc, tempted to rewatch 8 mile for the billionth time to take my mind off this back pain

When the Tethras family was cast out of Orzammar, it wasn't just three people; it was nearly one hundred. Andvar committed a sin that even the shallowest of tide pools in the Tethras family felt, even them being cast out. Andvar committed a crime punishable by all family; he rigged not one game but several.

Andvar had no regrets about this; he cared that he was cast out and his status ripped from him, mainly because now he was forced to start over. A starting over that led him to bad lungs and an early grave - and only the direct family held shiva and a funeral.

Bartrand was a baby, an infant even, forced out of his home and cut off from the world that was always supposedly his. Now, it is just a foggy memory of what was always supposed to be a covered homeland full of family, not at one another's neck. Bartrand saw the fighting and undoing of his family first-hand. When it was all left to him, what can one do when all they have heard their entire life is the glittering world you once saw. Work was Bartrand's undoing, working to get back to something that was long over before it was even his. It was never the idol, after all.

llsa, Lady Ilsa, knew what her husband had done. She knew and had to watch it unfold as the world around her swelled. She had only known the stars of lyrium and low-hanging vines that grew through and made things beautiful in their own way. How could she not be terrified by the open air above her threatening to swallow her whole? Kirkwall only saw her face in veils and from a distance unless at a private event within Kirkwall's Gardens. Yet, loose lips due to heavy drinks made her retire from public life, at Bartrand's request. He didn't care if she badmouthed Andvar - she needn't do it for the Gazette to hear. She ended up drinking herself into that house, still scared of the sky, wilting and yellowing like a daffodil left out in the rain too long.

Varric only knew ghosts. He grew up with ghosts, people who were shells of who they used to be. So, he promised himself early on he wouldn't be like them, so his fear would never come true.

He sees all of them in the mirrors of his life and understands their actions. He forgives his mother, his brother, and his father. He can't be like them—he's a brave man who looked at the sky and said, "What if?"

7 WARNING Signs Your LIVER is DYING (Don't Ignore!)

My scar makes me feel empowered now. If I can live through this, I can live through anything.

I'm speaking as someone who had a really bad burnout a handful of years ago. You need to give your brain a break. Usually for adhd folks more asleep helps a ton with the brain fog. Adding stimulants will just have your body draw from an already empty well. If you're having trouble with rest or other forms of self-care doctors can help and so can some of the online resources out there. Supplements are wonderful too. Take care of yourself and good luck. You can do it.

thanks so much you sweet anon <3 creating my prior post actually did prompt me to call my doc about upping the wellbutrin because i'm on a low dose rn and i think i need some more mental stability at the moment. but i think you are right about the exhaustion, which increasing the adderall would probably make worse. im gonna see if the doc also has any input on how to help me sleep better because i think that's also a big factor. thank you angel 💕💕💕💕

drinking with other ukrainians and someone busts out a toast with слава україні and you know you're in it for the long haul tonight

[orcelito]

Actually we r at 6 months now without any major deaths in my life, which is great! That's the longest I've gone without any major deaths since last May! The second longest was 4 months between July and November last year. Wow !

[tamrah18]

Hey dad, I can't believe you're gone.

Not gone like when you and mom divorced

Gone like completely absent from this earth

The kind of gone that can't get any worse

I wish I had answers

Or a better explanation from you

But since I won't ever get them

Writing this out will have to do

I know we haven't spoke much since I was 16

I'm 25 now, kinda of hard to believe

But not as hard as knowing

That you continued to drink

So why choose the bottle

Over Desiree, me, Riley, or Seth?

How was drinking so much better

You let it cause such an early death?

You know I loved you dad.

Despite all your flaws

Despite your drunken words

Or the crayons you "threw at the wall"

Where I happened to stand

With my back faced towards you

And let's not forget

about the dirty napkins too

Did the drinking cause the odd behavior

Towards me and my friends?

What about the inappropriate jokes?

Or the text messages you would send?

What about the alcohol you gave us

When Mom wasn't home?

Or how you would make my friends

Sit with you downstairs all alone

Why was Seth always the favorite?

Is it because he is your biological son?

Was I not considered your daughter?

Although you came into my life early on?

I asked for secret handshakes

And to be tucked into bed

I didn't care if Seth went first

I just wanted to be included.

It didn't have to be the same

I'd be fine with being second best

I just wanted a dad

Who didn't treat me as less

Desiree could do whatever

Riley could do no wrong

Yet I was banned from the pantry

And singing when the radio was on.

Dad, I was barely fourteen

When you saw my thighs covered in blood

You didn't respond how mom expected

Instead you laughed like I knew you would

Do you remember all those fights

That would make bubba cry?

How about that summer before

I started junior high?

I had a friend over

She was hiding in my room

She overheard you say

"Your mom will always pick me over you."

You reaked of alcohol

And it wasn't even noon.

But by that age

I kinda expected that from you

I was embarrased and hurt

That someone else heard you say

The things that you did

When mom was away

When bubba was busy

Or everyone else was asleep

Someone else finally heard it

But it didn't change a thing

Dad when you were sober

You showed me how to cook

You taught me self defense

And how to throw a right hook

You helped us practice

The sports that we loved

Taught us responsibility

You made sure we were tough

So why would you drink

The way that you did?

Sober you was supportive

You would never lay hands on a kid.

You wouldn't tear a child down

Instead you would pump your fists

While you scream our names

After we would get a good hit

Make sure we were safe

And knew that we were loved

Always remind us

We are blessings from above

You were a baseball coach

A firefighter too

The man of the house

The protector was supposed to be you

But when you drank it was different

You didn't save lives

You weren't the dad we needed

Instead you left me traumatized

Wait, not only me

But your other sons and daughters

Your wife at the time

Your sisters and brothers

Old friends learned quickly

New friends came to know

If you had a bottle in hand

It was time to go

You made your choice

That much was clear

But why didn't you tell us

How your time was near?

You were so sick

The doctor told you how bad

So why not tell us sooner

Why wait so long dad?

54 is so young

To be strapped in a hospital bed

Struggling to breathe

Unable to lift your head

Your words were quiet

Did it hurt to talk?

Why did you use all your energy

Trying to get up and walk?

You asked us for forgiveness

You told us you loved us

But dad, you still never answered

Why you put the bottle above us.

And now that you're gone

I'm left with just memories

Hey dad why isn't there a picture

Where it's just you and me?

I've searched for some answers

I've screamed and I've cried

I've gone through your things

I've asked myself why

I've talked to my friends

My therapist too

But truthfully dad

I wish I could just talk to you

So maybe if you're listening

Maybe you can hear what I say

Dad I love you and I miss you!

Can you hear me okay?

Send me a sign

A cardinal will do

Send me a sign

That you love me too.

The addition of caffeine (100–130 mg) to commonly prescribed pain relievers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen modestly improves the proportion of people who achieve pain relief.

A systematic review and meta-analysis from 2014 found that concurrent caffeine and l-theanine use has synergistic psychoactive effects that promote alertness, attention, and task switching; these effects are most pronounced during the first hour post-dose

Moderate doses of caffeine (around 5 mg/kg) can improve sprint performance, cycling and running time trial performance, endurance (i.e., it delays the onset of muscle fatigue and central fatigue) and cycling power output. Caffeine increases basal metabolic rate in adults. Caffeine ingestion prior to aerobic exercise increases fat oxidation, particularly in persons with low physical fitness.

Caffeine improves muscular strength and power, and may enhance muscular endurance. Caffeine also enhances performance on anaerobic tests. Caffeine consumption before constant load exercise is associated with reduced perceived exertion. While this effect is not present during exercise-to-exhaustion exercise, performance is significantly enhanced. This is congruent with caffeine reducing perceived exertion, because exercise-to-exhaustion should end at the same point of fatigue. Caffeine also improves power output and reduces time to completion in aerobic time trials, an effect positively (but not exclusively) associated with longer duration exercise

Chocolate derived from cocoa beans contains a small amount of caffeine. The weak stimulant effect of chocolate may be due to a combination of theobromine and theophylline, as well as caffeine. A typical 28-gram serving of a milk chocolate bar has about as much caffeine as a cup of decaffeinated coffee. By weight, dark chocolate has one to two times the amount of caffeine as coffee: 80–160 mg per 100 g. Higher percentages of cocoa such as 90% amount to 200 mg per 100 g approximately and thus, a 100-gram 85% cocoa chocolate bar contains about 195 mg caffeine.

Regular consumption of caffeine may protect people from liver cirrhosis. It was also found to slow the progression of liver disease in people who already have the condition, reduce the risk of liver fibrosis, and offer a protective effect against liver cancer among moderate coffee drinkers. A study conducted in 2017 found that the effects of caffeine from coffee consumption on the liver were observed regardless of how the drink was prepared

In moderate doses, caffeine has been associated with reduced symptoms of depression and lower suicide risk. Two reviews indicate that increased consumption of coffee and caffeine may reduce the risk of depression
