Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 My husband is in ESLD and has all the symptoms. He is 9 mos preg with triplets, portal htn, while fingernails, tingling in legs, no appetite, days and nights mixed up, starting to look yellow (he is so tan normally it doesn't show up as bad on him) but eyes are mildly yellow. He is under the care of his Family Dr. and a GI. The Dr. does not want to drain him cause he said it will come right back...And he has this yellow diarrhea and no appetite. I asked the Dr. if if could be to something blocked but he said no, lab work didn't show anything like that. He says his liver is whats causing the digestion problems....How long can someone last at this stage? He is weak, doesn't want to eat, however he will drink fluids still. Doesn't want to take his medicine cause everything hurts his stomach. Says his back constantly hurts, and he has abdominal pain. Has anybody else been at this point before and can you tell me where we are in this viscious cycle?? The Drs don't say much and I even asked how much of his liver is still good and they say they don't know. ANYBODY that has gone through this, please please share with me your time frame and what happened... Thank you very much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
