Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 You know the liver is an amazing organ..And you can read all you can about it, and then boom there's some thing new..I know before my transplant, a lot of "normal" functions were failing..Well some thing happened and I never linked this to my liver...Hormones in the cirrhotic phase different glands are affected like the Pituitary gland. And in the final stages of liver disease a lot of changes occurs . Cute stuff, like men sometimes develop breasts, women have changes with their menstrual cycles...and sleep changes , appetite and body changes...I can remember always being cold, even when the outside temp was in the 90s... so basically what I'm getting around to is this: Any other female out there going though premature menopause, abnormal menses etc...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I had everything but one ovary removed in 1992, so I don't know about that angle, but tx has done a number on my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Haven't had a dose change in Synthroid in 8 years, but almost tripled my dose last month. De Faith is the ability to not panic. -----Original Message-----From: Deb [mailto:posttransplant@...] Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2004 10:57 AMHepatitis Cfordummies Subject: Re: ESLD?

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Don't know how much of mine is me just being weird or the hep. Was told I couldn't get pg. because of a hormone imbalance of un known causes. They have always being irregular -- from unknown causes. And think I been menopausal for the last 5 years.
