Question: My MELD is 13 and my CPT 7 and asked how long I have to live and was told they would not answer that they had seen this and 3 months and then again 10 years. I asked how did I get this I do not frink, and as far as I can find there is no one in my family has ever had this cirrhosis.
Back in 199 was put on a statin and got cramps, and pain that would radiate up the right side and across a hold the bottom of the rib cage. So they took me off that statin put me on another same thing, this went on for 11 years different ones over and over again with the same thing. at the end was told to go on this new one back in 2009 the cramps did not happen but the pain up the side and along the lower rib cage continued. The Doctor said that was not caused by the new meds, it was Zetia and I was on that when I went into the hospital and for a 7 months. I asked the liver specialist if that could have caused my liver cirrhosis. Was told XXXXXXX oh you watch those TV ads?" I said seen them but was wondering, was told that it is as plain answer "NO WAY"

Since I am unable to get a transplant from what I was told because have 2 stents in heart and Plural effusion with PFT of 46% I am service connected veteran for those, Have Portal Vein Thrombosis with 100% blockage and have been hospitalized back in April 2012 they took out 7 pints of fluid, and now on blood thinner. and water pills

forgot to tell I have had pneumonia 7 times over the 40 years, also have high blood pressure, mitral valve regurgitation CAD, that is why I have 2 stents in the LED and when they put that in back in 2008 there was this sudden pain that shot straight thru and continued to hurt even after the the stents. I am service connected for this because I had the first time the military would not allow me to see a doctor until I was so bad I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, and at that time my blood pressure was like 190/150 several times during having pneumonia's
