alcohol abuse diagnosis

t find a reference between hirstuism and leaky gut, I can with pseudo cushings, I am on day 5 of no alcohol (although I seem to be smoking more), burning facial sensation is still there as well as cravings for pastries and bread which I have been trying to avoid whilst using probiotics and high absorption multi vits (I still feel no benefit and see no changes), do you think I am looking in the right direction at possible diagnosis (I never admitted alcohol abuse to my doctors) or could it be som

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.

No diagnosis cluster b traits.

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.

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.

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.

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???..

First is major depressive disorder and the second is an issue with alcohol abuse. You can look up those criteria online but they should inform you if you ask.

ve recently been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I, but have struggled with it for the last 40 years without a formal diagnosis. (Denial?). Like many others, I have abused alcohol for years as a method of self medication. I don't believe I'm an alcoholic, but I definitely have issues. I have never missed work, never had a DUI, don't drink during the day. But I do drink something every night (Sometimes, but not always to excess).

The symptoms may be all related to alcohol abuse. Alcohol destroy brain cells, but as your dad is an alcoholic, it may simply be that he is having withdrawal symptoms from not have an alcoholic drink. His levels of Vitamin B12 may also be depleted as well as other minerals and vitamins. A blood test would confirm if that was the case. A kidney and liver function test would also detect if there was a problem there. A lack of Vitamin B12 can cause memory problems.

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.

You have your diagnosis and is nothing more right now than a fatty liver but to continue alcohol abuse will guarantee you to move on to fibrosis. Your liver function is fine, AST/ALT are well with-in range. Your kidney function is also excellent. Nothing abnormal about the amount of liver cells dying off either. I am curious what the lab result were that prompted the ultra sound.

Hi peaofsweetness. I am very sorry to read of your husband's diagnosis. And that it came because of alcohol abuse, I know you've had a long road already to get to this point. Hugs to you. When was he diagnosed? How is it impacting life now or him? There, unfortunately, is no cure but hopefully he has stopped drinking?

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.

I don't know which came first-the bipolar, anxiety and depression, or the substance abuse. I know I did not have a drug/alcohol problem until I was in my late 20's. But I have always been depressed and made some very stupid impulsive financial decisions before substances every became a problem. That led to substance to cope with the consequences. I have a B.A. in journalism and have worked at television stations and newspapers. But now, I am unable to work. The disease totally took over.

You may have to undergo a variety of medical tests to rule out other health problems like depression, schizophrenia, eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, bipolar disorder, alcohol abuse or other substance abuse; current morbid obesity, and active medical diseases. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.

m particularly stressed to cause an anxiety attack. I am a 28 year old male with no history of drug use but a fairly consistent abuse of alcohol (symptoms have not changed after abstaining from alcohol use for periods). Any ideas?

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.

GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) can be used to screen for chronic alcohol abuse (it will be elevated in about 75% of chronic drinkers).

Is it concluded that there is to be no more alcohol of any kind forever? What about after you have cleared the virus?

Sometimes, inflammation from a fatty liver is linked to alcohol abuse; this is known as alcoholic steatohepatitis. Otherwise the condition is called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH. An inflamed liver may become scarred and hardened over time. This condition, called cirrhosis, is serious and often leads to liver failure." What causes fatty liver?
