I have been very ill and in the hospital 3 times in less than 2 weeks. I have liver disease, and apparently it is not functioning as well as it had. The pain meds I have been taking did not filter properly. What I had was ammonia poisoning. The ammonia produced in my body made me unable to speak a whole sentence, and my memory is nearly gone. DH came home from work and found me on the couch, unresponsive, not knowing who he was, so he grabbed me up and went to the ER for the 3rd time in a week. By the time we got there, I was having seizures.They had given me improper dosage of the meds I need to keep my ammonia levels. I have an appointment at Chapel Hill next week to see if I qualify for a clinical trial. It is headed by one of the best liver specialists in the country. I am diabetic, and a whole laundry list of other stuff, so it may keep me from qualifying. I would appreciate some TCS magic.
If anyone takes a lot of OTC pain releivers, it can turn your liver into Swiss cheese. PLEASE let your doctor know and have him do a liver panel.
