What do you wish others knew about NASH?
There are plenty of misconceptions out there about NASH disease. What's something you wish people understood about the condition, or your personal experience living with it?
It’s real and I’m not making up symptoms.
No one else, except my doctors, need to understand anything about my illness. I have debilitating illnesses which confine me to a wheelchair and inability to work or drive, and NASH, even at stage 3, has very little impact on my life, and certainly doesn't affect others. I'm not sure what someone with NASH could be experiencing where it should be such a big issue in their life, much less others. The doctors I see do not even feel treating NASH separately is necessary, just limit drinking to occasional red wine and watch my diet. People have their own issues to deal with - they do not need to involve themselves in mine.
