Good for you on getting a DR appointment. You know this is the only way to figure your pain out. Bottom line is drinking definitely won't help anything. Keep on your path of staying sober.
Years back I was diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease, had extremely high colesteral, was on blood pressure medicine and was extremely out of shape. After about 6 months of quitting drinking; after 21 years of heavy daily drinking; everything got better and was confirmed by clean blood work.
It all starts by not drinking.
