Avatar n tn Hello It's good to hear that you are taking control of your alcohol consumption, are you planning to stop completely in the future? I don't think anyone on this site could say what your pain is as we are not medically trained! Would it be possible for you to visit your doctor and does he/she know about your alcohol abuse.
Avatar f tn Becoming free from alcohol is a very doable thing. But remaining free from alcohol takes work. I had to take part in my own recovery and work on myself so I would change. If I don't change nothing changes. Nobody could do that for me. But there are millions of us in recovery all over the world. So freedom for you is out there waiting. Keep your willingness and continue to make the steps in the right direction like you've described in your post. You don't have to be sick anymore.
Avatar f tn My question is this I have a history of alcohol abuse, it started about 12 years ago when I had my child, I met a guy (who I spent 10 years with), could never get a babysitter so he started bringing beer into the house (only ever drank when I went out prior to this) after a year we were drinking a full bottle of scotch together every night,I had a very highly paid job god only knows how I kept it without being dicovered, after 10 years I left him tried to make a new start abroad it went wrong I
1563920 tn?1299288683 If you look at my past posts, I have been dealing with neurological issues for some time now. I have been very depressed about everything, from having to quit nursing to my inability to work and drive. During this time, I have been turning to alcohol to kind of deal with my problems, not such a good idea, I know!!! It hadn't seemed to be a problem until last night. A group of my friends, including my boyfriend, went out for my birthday.
Avatar n tn as a rule narcs can be stopped much less dangerously than heavy alcohol abuse//physically// cos as a rule there is no risks unless a narc user is old and has heart failure//mentally both r a true bumber//and aftercare for alcohol abuse is almost imperative cos it is everywhere//and drug abuse is not socially acceptable like alcohol is..peeps do not pass out oxys at the bowling alley like they do beers u didnt state what ur abuse issue was/or if there was one at all???..
1621722 tn?1333050499 Welcome to the forum. None of us are qualified to give you any sort of diagnosis, especially online. If you're using alcohol as a way to deal with anxiety and depression, you could be heading down a slippery slope. It already sounds as though you need to figure out exactly how bad your "problem" with alcohol is...and the sooner the better, before it gets any worse.
Avatar f tn Ever since that day my stomach makes noises when i eat and i get pains on my right side right below my rib cage. If i drink even just 4 or 5 beers now i feel like im hung over and feel like **** for days. Will i evenually feel better or did i do permanent damage that i should get checked? I would greatly appreciate any help as i am starting to get a lil concerned..
Avatar n tn Before i was infected with HBV i was regularly consuming alcohol (avg. twice a week). My doctor told me that once i fully recover, alcohol consumption (unless abused) should not do me any harm. Since i was feeling much better, I started to consume alcohol again (4-5 months after i was hospitilized). When i was consuming alcohol, I was really having bad hangovers, even after just a few beers. I assumed my liver didn't fully recover yet and i simply needed to give them more time.
Avatar n tn Our daughter was forced to have unsupervised custody last week where she informed us that he was vomiting all evening. I have researched symptoms of alcohol and Tylenol abuse and found possible signs of liver damage. For the concern of my daughter, we are extremely scared on what he is capable of when she see's him. We are hoping anyone who has experience on this could offer us advise.
Avatar n tn how long does it take after stopping alcohol completely for GGT levels to drop to normal?
Avatar m tn if the xanax is in addition to the alcohol.....then he's really playing with fire here. being a medical student, you should know already how diazepam is used for withdrawal from xanax. this needs to be dr surpervised and the process alone of switching from xanax to valium is a long process...but ultimately at these doses and with alcohol in the mix, perhaps thats the best route? a doctor will know best...but the alcohol needs to be dealt with FIRST...then the xanax.
1255505 tn?1272819115 How many people here have a history of substance abuse? Did it result from or result in any episodes? I abused cannabis off and on from 13 to 20. I abused LSD from 16 to 20. I abused alcohol off and on from 21 to 37. I abused morphine & oxycodone at 40. Yikes! I also tried a few other things, but they never really took hold.
Avatar f tn how can i help my dad getting over his alcohol dont get mw wrong hes been off it for four week now but he keep on taking painkiller everyday and hes not eatting that much as well is there any vitamins or anything that could help him.
Avatar m tn Is it concluded that there is to be no more alcohol of any kind forever? What about after you have cleared the virus?
362971 tn?1201987034 207 Clearly, for heavy alcohol users, efforts should be undertaken to treat the alcohol abuse and dependence before starting treatment, but treatment is not contraindicated for persons who have an occasional drink of alcohol or who have a history of alcoholism. Although no consensus opinion exists, it seems reasonable to recommend either the complete suspension of alcohol intake while on treatment or to restrict the use of alcohol to an occasional drink during the course of the treatment.
Avatar m tn Wow that is a heavy duty question.......the risk of sudden death and arrythmias due from alcohol abuse are fairly remote however you have to remember that with overdoing it with the alcohol which is a depressive causes your whole system to slow down and depress everything in your body....
2176476 tn?1338605299 Your health care team need to know if you are taking alcohol with any prescribed meds. Alcohol is a depressant and will make getting stable really hard. It is so good you are recognizing the need for help. You may want to reconsider AA. My understanding is that each group has a very different dynamic and sometimes you have to 'shop around' to find a good fit. My best friend is a former alcoholic and that is what I heard from her.
Avatar n tn You have good reason to be worried. I doubt whether an a doctor would tell your daughter that there is no danger in this combination of drugs. This is indeed a dangerous combination and although she may be lucky and have no effect she is taking a very big risk and she should know that.
Avatar n tn At this point I would not worry about cirrhosis, especially if you are about to quit drinking and get a doctor to look at you, to make sure that you neuropathy is due to vitamin deficiency and will resolve spontaneously with thiamine replacement and proper nutrition. Let us not give you diagnoses that you have not earned yet, OK? Let us take care of your health and avoid future problems. Good luck. P.S. BTW, if you smoke, might be a good idea to quit as well, while you are at it.
Avatar m tn I have began to make him sleep in his cage, because he never slept in his cage before, but I thought maybe if he gets use to sleeping in there he wont poop and pee where he sleeps, but he continues to do it. He usually smells bad all the time because I can only give him a bath so many times...hes sitting and sleeping in his pee because its almost everytime he is in there, he atleast pees on himself or in his cage. An example of what happened today, and this has happened more than once.
Avatar m tn hi.. don't worry that drug abuse treatment is very costly. many drug rehab centers are available to treat you against Drug addiction.Please have patience and try to quit it because its good for your health.
Avatar n tn i been having bad pain in my rib cage. I am pretty healthy no injuries or anything i can think of that would be causing such pain. It feels as if both ribs are being squeezed tightly to the point where i been having to unhook my bra just so it wouldnt apply any more pressure to my already hurting rib cage. I had this pain like maybe 2 months back and its been happening off and on.
Avatar f tn After the surgery I was feeling great having the pain that I had been suffering with for years gone I was pretty excited to not be in pain anymore and being on the low fat content diet was relatively easy for me since I have Celiac Disease and am used to restricted diets. About 3-4 weeks ago I drank a small amount of alcohol and ate some food at a party and suddenly I had this horrible stabbing pain on the right side of my body just below my rib cage.
