Suggest Treatment For Binswanger's Disease In A Liver Transplant
Question: I had a liver transplant in 2010. Not all good, though I am alive thanks to my wonderful donor family. I have only ever had about 2 years total reasonable health throughout the recovery, which will be 6 years next month. I have got high blood pressure: I have a cardiology problem, not sure of what name it is, something to do with pumping not enough blood: have had a Biliary reconstruction: hernia, which has been operated on twice but has been unsuccessful: I have been told I need to lose some weight before trying the operation again, I weigh 80kg, usual weight is about the 72 - 75kg. I have diabetes and atrial fibrillation, magnesium levels are low, creatnin is sometimes high, tested yesterday and is 118, also protein levels are low. I had
Hep C but I was on a trial and now Hep C neg. I have been diagnosed with myalgia? a weakening of the muscles and bones? I think this is right... I have now been diagnosed with Binzwangers disease. Could you please tell me how long is it before this disease becomes full blown, I am 60years young. I want to plan a future but not sure if I should plan to get into a retirement type home or stay independent as long as I can. My mother has lived with me for years and she has Parkinsons so I need to be mindful of her health also. I believe a lot of these symptoms have been created from medications I have been on at one time or another. I have had several side effects also from medications. I am self employed and run my own business with staff, so have always been independent, but sadly I find once I get over one crisis I get thrown another curve ball.
Kind regards xxxxxxx New Zealand

Brief Answer:
Following answer to your query.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
First of all you should keep in mind that working and other activities are of help in slowing down the progression of Binzwanger disease. This is why it's important that you should continue your job and stay independent as long as you can.
Moreover, you should stabilize your BP and glucose and cholesterol levels. These measures will help also in slowing down the Binzwanger disease.
Some of your symptoms especially myalgia and weakness may be related to heart failure and low magnesium levels. This is why I strongly recommend to take Magnesium supplements in order to correct the magnesium levels.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
