Fatty liver
I've been cutting back on my drinking over the past 18 months or so. The amount that I was down to was almost moderate, maybe 10 drinks over three days in a whole week. I used to drink 5 a day, every day, on average for probably 20 years.
I got a lot of anxiety as I gradually sobered. Most nights a week I wasn't drinking and maybe I was getting clarity about my life but whatever it was the anxiety was bad. I started getting a queasy, nauseous feeling with the anxiety. I started taking Ativan and for the most part it got rid of the nausea but the doc ordered an abdominal ultrasound too. It showed evidence of a fatty liver. All my liver and other blood work was normal. Liver enzymes were low normal. (There was one high reading last year.)
The doc said it could return to normal and to stop drinking entirely and check again in six months. Has anyone been in this situation?
