i've read several things like it that were linked from the good people on here.
i like to think myself cerebral (not when passed out on the sofa) but it was an eye-opener for me on how alcohol doesn't just rewire our brain but many of our other organs.
they have to compensate for something they don't need. the day i quit my right side was 'hard'...it was definitely worrisome and being an idiot guy i just hoped it would go away instead of going to my doctor.
it did get better and i got a full workup at 3 months and my liver numbers were fine.
thanks for sharing.
