Just a thought on the medical tests...I've taken my AW to the ER several times when she was in really bad shape, and I've found that most hospital ER departments don't have much interest in doing anything beyond stabilizing the patient and referring them out. This seems especially true in cases of alcohol or drug overdoses, because most of the time the patient isn't motivated to follow through on all necessary tests.

Getting into a detox facility was a hugely different experience for her. They understood the physical needs and were very supportive and knowledgeable about other local resources. I don't know where you are in your process or what you're looking for, but if you're concerned enough about your health to be asking questions like this you should check with a primary care doctor and get some better tests arranged. If nothing else it will be HUGE peace of mind.
