Well since i am 26 years old i don't think i could go all the way back to the beginning but i will tell you how it began and the main highlights throughout my journey till today and will go into detail in later posts.
I was born on February 5th 1982 at University College Hospital in London. Shortly after birth i was diagnosed with a rare childhood liver disease called Biliary Atresia and required urgent surgery. I was then transferred to Kings College Hospital which specialises in liver diseases to undergo a Kasai procedure which i haad when i was 6 weeks old. After a successful surgery i went on to do very well throughout my childhood. I have always had portal hypertension and an enlarge spleen so every 3-5 years i would go into hospital for endoscopys.
I have had 2 liver transplants to date, 2 bowel surgeries for obstruction and perforation and was diagnosed with osteoporosis as a result of the side effects from the steriod used as an anti-rejection drug post transplant. I am on cocktail of daily medicaton and still awaiting biliary surgery to correct my bile duct which is strictured.
