Just read your whole heartbreaking story. I'm sorry you've had so much difficulty getting rehab and detox help.

Are you going to a hospital? Have you talked to anyone in AA recently?

Sending love.

How do you know, and i know you cant give Med Advice, what liver Probs and failure are before its packs in ??

Payton

Are you inpatient in a hospital right now? What did they tell you about your results? Have you seen a doctor?

I don't know anything about liver failure.

Paddyb

just called for bloods and dont know what its means? alt 235 aft 245 and gammers 2345?

kanamit

Are you sure the gamma reading is 2,345?

smacked

I'll ask again since you haven't answered.. are you in a hospital right now? That's who can help you, Paddy. Those are incredibly high readings, I'm really worried about you. Please get the help you need medically, ASAP.

Paddyb

Yeah Gammer in the 2000s and not in Hospital as yet

Payton

When will you be going to the hospital?

Zee

Can I ask why you can't get detox on the NHS?

Zee

A few things to look at....

Alcohol Rehab NHS | Rehab Centre Search UK

Alcohol Misuse - Treatment - NHS Choices

Alcohol support - Live Well - NHS Choices

Essex:- Detox Clinics, Rehab, Addiction Treatment Meetings, NHS Help UK

What Happens in an NHS Home Alcohol Detox Program? | eHow.com

There ARE choices... have a look, see your doctor again (with results, which btw are REALLY high) he CAN refer you! We don't live in the dark ages anymore! There is help out there. You just have to WANT the help!!! Be pro-active! Today is the day Paddy!

Payton

Thinking of you Paddy.

So, what news Paddy?
Since I last posted here on this thread I have been to my doctors twice, had an endoscopy, and had a pretty grim birthday (my first sober in about 20 years).
Not been an easy couple of weeks!
Have you been to see your doctor?
Have you looked at the NHS links that I have posted?
Have you done..... anything?
