Hi Moot,

same thing happened to a friend of mine but she's ok now, actually she's co-ordinator for a treatment city in our city and is studying chemistry and physics.

Wet brain or Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome is caused by a deficiency of Thiamine (vitamin B1) and if caught in the early stages is treatable. So, it's possible that your doctor was right and that you were given B1 in hospital (they did this for me during withdrawals in hospital) but obviously I don't know for sure. Do you take vitamin B1? I was told that I can't get enough of it for at least the first year.

Isn't it amazing that we are alive?

Amy
