Hi, I’m Janet – writer, researcher, and unwilling graduate of a crash course in liver disease. In November 2024, I was diagnosed with decompensated 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.
A note about the writing –
I use ChatGPT (OpenAI) as a writing assistant for some of the informational content on Liver Friendly. Every article is final-written, reviewed, edited, and published by me, and I take responsibility for its final content. My personal stories, experiences, and opinions are entirely my own.
