			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chronic liver disease is an umbrella term that can refer to any one of a number of liver diseases. These liver diseases are slow progressing. They usually continue for a long period of time.</p>
<p>The result of chronic liver disease is a progressive destruction of your liver. There is also a regeneration of your liver parenchyma that leads to fibrosis and cirrhosis. This destruction of your liver will probably take place over a period of several years.</p>
<p>There is an extensive list of liver diseases that fall under the heading of chronic liver disease. Some of these include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cirrhosis</li>
<li>Alcoholic liver disease</li>
<li>Hepatitis B and C</li>
<li>Liver cancer</li>
<li>Epstein Barr Virus</li>
<li>Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease</li>
<li>Primary sclerosing cholangitis</li>
<li>Wilson’s disease</li>
</ul>
<p>The signs and symptoms of chronic liver disease do not usually appear until the disease has progressed for a while. Then you may begin to be affected by several signs and symptoms. Some of these are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Loss      of appetite</li>
<li>Fatigue</li>
<li>Nausea</li>
<li>Dry      mouth</li>
<li>Jaundice</li>
<li>Mental      confusion</li>
<li>Excessive      thirst</li>
<li>Abdominal      pain and tenderness.</li>
</ul>
<p>The effects of chronic liver disease can reach a stage where they are debilitating. In fact, you or a loved one may be at a point, right now, where you cannot work. Chronic liver disease and/or complications caused by or associated with it may be the reason for you or your loved one’s disability.</p>
<p>If this is true, you or your loved one may need help. You may need financial assistance.</p>
<p>Who will you turn to for the financial help that you need? Where will it come from? Who can and will help you?</p>
<p>Have you or your loved one thought about applying for Social Security <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilitybenefits.htm"title="Benefits of S.S." >disability benefit</a>s or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by chronic liver disease and/or complications caused by or associated with this condition? Have you or your loved one already done this and been denied by the Social Security Administration?</p>
<p>You or your loved one may be wondering what to do next? Do you have any recourse? What options are open to you?</p>
<p>One option that you or your loved one have open to you is to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you decide to do this, here is something important for you to think about.</p>
<p>You or your loved one is going to need a qualified <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/resourcesp3.htm"title="Disability Claim Lawyer" >disability lawyer</a> like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com to represent and advise you in what can prove to be a long and exasperating process. The reason for this being true is because people who have a proven <a href="http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/whyuselawyer.htm"title="SSD Attorney" >disability attorney</a> on their side are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.</p>

<p>Ulceration colitis is a rare disease. About one person in 10,000 gets ulcerative colitis in North America. It is found more often in the northern areas of North America.</p>
<p>Ulcerative colitis causes chronic inflammation of your digestive tract. It is characterized by diarrhea and abdominal pain. Like Crohn’s disease, which is another inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis can be a cause of disability. It can sometimes result in life-threatening complications.</p>
<p>The most serious complication of ulcerative colitis is toxic megacolon. This is when your colon becomes paralyzed so that you cannot pass gas or have a bowel movement.</p>
<p>Other complications include liver disease, perforated colon, inflammation of your eyes, skin and joints and severe dehydration. Although ulcerative colitis is usually not fatal, there can be serious consequences.</p>
<p>The signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis vary widely according to the extent of the disease and the intensity of the inflammation. The extent of ulcerative colitis refers to how much of your colon and rectum are involved in the disease. Diarrhea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain are some of the most common signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis.</p>
<p>Ulcerative colitis is an intermittent disease. This means that there are periods of intense illness that alternate with periods of remission. Over time, however, the severity of ulcerative colitis usually remains the same.</p>
<p>If you have a continuing change in your bowel movements or any of the following signs and symptoms, you should see your doctor. These indications are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Continuing      periods of diarrhea that do not respond to over-the-counter medications.</li>
<li>Blood      in your stool</li>
<li>An      unexplained fever that lasts longer that a couple of days</li>
<li>Abdominal      pain.</li>
</ul>
