Hi, I’m Janet – writer, researcher, and unwilling graduate of a crash course in liver disease. In November 2024, I was diagnosed with cirrhosis (resulting from NAFLD). Since then, I’ve learned more about the liver than I ever thought I’d need to know — and I’m sharing it here so you don’t have to learn the hard way.
Liverfriendly.org is my mix of straight talk, lived experience, and practical know-how. You’ll find personal stories, simple explanations for medical jargon, recipes, lifestyle tips, and news worth knowing — all designed to help you care for the hardest-working roommate you’ll ever have.
This isn’t medical advice, and it isn’t meant to scare you. It’s just one person’s story … my story of living with liver disease. The science and the symptoms are real, but so are the feelings that come with them. I share these pieces because sometimes it helps to know you’re not alone in the strange little things that can happen along the way.
Have a blessed day.
