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. 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?

  2. 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

  3. Leg pain

  4. Confused, because I have my liver function and kidney function checked every six months with bloodwork. Why wasn’t it caught sooner? Relieved in a way because now I knew what was causing my symptoms. Worried about keeping my job since I’m so fatigued and uncomfortable. I also feel like no one is taking my diagnosis seriously, so I feel alone.
