What was your experience being diagnosed with NASH?

For many living with NASH disease, the road to a diagnosis can be long, frustrating, and full of questions.
How did you feel after getting diagnosed with NASH? Did you know what NASH was prior to being diagnosed? We'd love to hear more about your experience!

  1. Shock

  2. Hydrazine intoxication

  3. Have read numerous times pain killers and opioids are not good for fatty liver/ cirrhosis. Is that just because they are filtered thru the liver and /or kidneys or is there some other reason?

    1. some medications are processed through the liver, so consideration should be given to the benefits vs the risks if your liver is damaged. There may be other reasons your doctor may want you to avoid certain medications, so it’s an important conversation to have with them. Pharmacists can also be invaluable resources if you’re concerned. Wishing you all the best, Julie (team member)

  4. JUST for anyone that hasn't had H,E , yet. My experience was i new where I was but what I thought I was doing and reality where 2 different things I thought I was losing my mind and fighting it. But the ammonia takes over fast I've had it 2 times now but am able to get va hold of it normally myself now
