About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:

It's a great experience which gave a lot of weighty in the crisis before transplantation but the new richer view on the other hand. The transplantation has brought so much delight in my life.
I was diagnosed with autoimune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis 11 years ago at age 19. I don't have any problems until september 2008 when I got jaundice and ascites. My physical condition was going down very quickly, my whole system was going to fall, I lost a lot of weight, I was hardly living, most time at the hospital. Waiting for the new liver was traumatical, I was like a plant and only hope to get the organ in time. I was transplanted less than two months after entering on the transplantation list. I was totaly exhausted but full of energy to begin to live once again.
