Did you know liver disease it totally silent? We have no nerve endings in the liver so it creeps up on you.

I really didn't realise this until today. I don't drink to excess so aren't concerned on that level but have friends who do.

An expert was on tv saying that half a bottle of wine a night is way over the limit. I do know that women's livers are half the size of men's so they shouldn't drink as much as men.

He said the liver has no nerve endings so there's no pain with liver disease.

Scary really.

By accident is prob the wrong term. But it was just a general blood test.

Sorry to hear of those who have liver disease. Thanks for the info on the British Liver Trust website BasketzatDawn.
