Her liver is falling - non alcoholic chronic liver disease, with corresponding signs on bloodwork over a 5 year period. CT scan noted stroke.

They didn't tell her. She took the results to Urgent Care as her regular GP is super booked, and the doctor said likely Drug Induced Liver Damage.

Accidental overdoses of Tylenol and NSAIDs since teenage years as her mother's doctor apparently suggested that as my friend has excruciating menstrual pain from endometriosis.

She's in Arizona.
That's incredibly sad, I'm so sorry to hear that news. Is there any hope for transplant? I hope the best for her.
