My Liver Transplant Story

I was born and diagnosed at age two with Tyrosinemia, a very rare metabolic disease where the liver doesn't have any enzymes it needs to break down protein.

What a pretty little girl. Quite a story and so different than mine. There is another guy on our site that has been sick since he was a child and has a hard time redefining himself (instead of being the sick kid) His name is Dan.

I want you to feel better. Maybe you should go back on a smaller dose of prednisone. I hope they find out what is causing the problem.

Wow, 20 years. Why have you been suffering pain for the last three years? I am sorry nothing seems to help. I have only had my liver for a couple of years. I have Hep C so the new liver is under attack. I have been lucky and have not had to deal with pain.
