Cirrhosis Support Group Recommendation

On the Dirty Tractor Blog we try to stay light hearted and occasionally touch on emotional and sensitive issues surrounding liver disease. When it comes to dealing with a serious medical condition such as cirrhosis of the liver though, we recognize the definite need for more in-depth medical discussion and a variety of sources for information. This is why we’re glad an email came our way inviting us to take a look at an online Cirrhosis support group located on MDJunction.

The support group is made up of “a community of patients, family members and friends dedicated to dealing with Cirrhosis, together.” It carries articles, diaries and an impressive forum.

Upon review, I found the forum is unusually active for a medical group of this type and contains potent topics such as: "Dealing with the illness," "Fatigue with cirrhosis," “Ulcers on the antrum in stomach" and "Hepatic Encephlopathy." There is also plenty of discussion regarding how to cope with the disease for all affected parties.
