alcohol

Avatar m tn d be putting a strain on them to process the alcohol, possibly leading to unnecessary inflammation. Less damage, more healthy cells and less strain on that healthy part from alcohol and other toxins. Like Frank, I can't really imagine going back to old habits like drinking regularly. I have become a true 'social drinker'. The rare glass of wine at a dinner or wedding, but no more visits to the wine aisle in the store, ever.
10476455 tn?1423121400 You can still enjoy a drink, just pump beforehand so you have milk already, and they actually have tests at most drug stores to test alcohol level in your breast milk so you know when it's okay to feed again, though a small amount will not effect much in the first place. There are many ways around it, it just takes a little ahead of time planning. As far as sagging goes, most likely it'll be the same either way. That's just how it is unfortunately lol.
Avatar n tn I must disagree though about alcohol not making people feel good. I used it for about 20 years and frankly I had a great time except for the hangovers. It was my substute for dealing with it properly and because I was a happy drunk it helped me get through for a very long time. You say youi haven't had a drink in 28 years. If you were an alcoholic before stopping then you know what resuming grog will do to you. Probably fairly quickly. If you get miserable on grog don't go back to it.
466909 tn?1207568232 I would appreciate your input, this will come in pieces as evertime I get a paragraph[again] typed I lose my internet and have to start all over. I read you somewhere say that addiction to oxy is the user's fault, and for thousands [maybe millions] it is a great drug to help alleviate unbearable pain and give quality of life to people[like me] who wouldn't otherwise have freedom to even leave the house, do to pain. I'm gonna send and take up further, ok?

4113881 tn?1415850276 So very well done Evan, pushing forward and showing the way for us all! You would make an excellent counsellor, one of the best men I ever talked to was an ex Heroin addict, it makes it so much easier for people to accept you when you truly understand through real experience. You can learn so much from books but until you actually walk the path there is a lot you don't understand. Just imagine how many people you can help and in doing that your own life will become so rewarding!
Avatar f tn I know there are whole cultures that are okay with this, but I used to work with fetal alcohol syndrome babies and kids, and they were sometimes worse off than drug-addicted babies. They don't know how much alcohol it takes to create problems, and after that experience I'd never risk doing that to my child by drinking alcohol. Maybe you can substitute with fancy grape juice?
Avatar f tn But i would definitely recommend a month to cleanse and purge even for your boyfriend because his body needs to be as healthy as possible for conception too :). Good luck, sorry I don't know about the geritol.
1450085 tn?1298941702 in terms of drugs i tried a few bumps of cocaine maybe all of 6 times over that 4 month period, and i tried mdma (not a full pill just a little of the crystals) about 4 times, all times on the MDMA i wouldnt get high and just get super anxious and trip out for hours. on the cocaine i was good, i liked it until the last time i did it i had a panic attack (last time i did it).
5624774 tn?1374284525 So they test for drugs and alcohol? And how far back does it show? I mean say you had a glass of wine 2 days after conception, would that show up?
Avatar m tn I really have a true desire to stop, I want to be here for my kids and my wife and I am also come to the relization that I cannot control it and also cannot stop at just a few. I need to find a way to stop completely. Any advise or information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn 1) He quit smoking. However , he was smoking for 2 years. Will That have any impact? How can we cure or prevent and implications? 2) He continues to drink, What kind of drinks or alcohol can type2 diabetic intake. He often takes Whiskey, Scotch, beer, vodka and few others too... He almost take 10-15 large quantity of variety of alcohol in a month. in a week, 3-5 glasses. This scares me. Is it good to drink, bad , What should be done? what drinks can be taken to what extent?
Avatar f tn I am a recovering addict. While meth was my drug of choice, I also did 25 years of crack, opiates, and alcohol. I have 7 monthes clean, but still suffer some strange tics that are associated with the druguse. Its frustrating and embarrasing. Anyone got any helpful comments?
Avatar n tn It's common sense, think about it. IV drug abuser and a heathcare worker are doing two totally different things.
Avatar m tn The main goal was for parents to learn facts of drug use, and to identify signs of drug use, and identify the things kids use these days to hide things in their room. They said they believe parents can maintain a strong influence over their kids, as long as the parents themselves are positive role models who their children respect. They also stressed frequent communication about drugs and drinking, and start it while they are young. I have been in AA for 19 yrs.
Avatar f tn What I suggest is icing to reduce the swelling. If there are any cuts clean them out with witch hazel (can be found in a local drug store and it doesn't sting like alchohol) and put an ointment.
Avatar n tn Don't drive when you're taking this combo or any other combo. Rally, I don't want to sound like a boring old cranky preacher with a humpy back, but if you're gonna drink anything with alcohol in it, hand over the keys. Are you taking this drug to quit smoking or for depression (It's labelled for both -- Zyban for the smoking; Wellbutrin for depression)?
2109562 tn?1347253848 So my best friend mentioned a few weeks ago that she hasn't had a period for about 3 months. I almost told her to take a pregnancy test, but I know her periods are irregular, so I didn't say anything. Sometimes she'll go months without having a period for as long as I've known her. Well she called me a few hours ago freaking out saying she finally took one and it was a very dark positive. Now I am completely excited lol as I have no good friends that are pregnant.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend (35) has been an alcoholic for years. Smokes cigarettes, Drinks every day, avg lately has been 6 beers, and anywhere bet 1/2 to a full fifth of Jagermeister nightly. Smokes pot. For last @ 6 months has been taking methadone at 40 to 60mg ?? daily. Now for a few weeks has a new drug. Crystal meth. Tonight he told me that he's been having strong chest pains while he is at work. Lasts a few minutes then goes away. Chest pain is not during strenuous activity.
Avatar n tn My wife and I are greatly concerned about the natural father of our 11 year old daughter. The father in question has been abusing Tylenol and Alcohol for a very long time. Last year he overdosed on Tylenol and prescription drugs prescribed by his Psychologist as he has been recently diagnosed Psychitzophrenic and by-polar. He committed this act in front of our daughter. The last time we saw him in court he was almost skin and bones, very pale in complextion and exhibited an almost paranoia.
Avatar m tn I did sound like I was blaming all teachers and I did alter the results of the kids meds, for that I am sorry. I just believe their needs to be more testing done before a teach gives a note to the parents recommending he/she see a doctor. I am a very young parent who loves his kids and would do anything for them. When a teacher recommends the doctor I listened, no testing was done for the adhd, they just gave him meds.
Avatar m tn I went to a tourist trip to forget and bring some joy to my life, unfortenately I have consumed lots of alcohol and during that I had an encounter with a youg prostitute ( 20 years ) . I spent 3 days seeing her every night.
Avatar m tn Although alcohol does affect ferility, I don't think this would be a huge problem right now. I would, however, strongly suggest having her go to her obgyn and getting a full check up. It's better to know up front if there could be any problems and what you guys should or should not be doing.
