 Just
over six years ago I was diagnosed with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), a liver disease. Since
then everything else seems to be happening to my body.
Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE, which is also known as Watermelon Stomach) was diagnosed
about
three years ago and after numerous iron infusions it was decided that they
would operate and stem the bleeding in my stomach. That was yesterday
and today I feel
so weak and tired. My top left side of my stomach is so, so sore. It hurts
to bend down. Looks like we will repeat surgery in three to six months.
I would love to
hear from anyone with similar problems. |
