I've had diabetes for a number of years (don't know how many - eventually had to diagnose myself about 9 or 10 years ago and then go to the doctor for confirmation). I also have had a "fatty liver" for many years and was told that there was nothing to be done about it - just hope it didn't get worse. Now I have cirrhosis and am told that it's too late to do anything about it now - just keep an eye on it ie I assume, watch it get worse until I pop my clogs because of it. I read somewhere that someone had some success with milk thistle and I wonder if anyone knows anything about this.
I took milk thistle some years ago for something (can't remember what) but it gave me awful headaches, so I stopped. My son has just given me some milk thistle tablets which don't seem to have an adverse effect, so I could tale them, but are they any use for my damaged liver?
