I went to a headache center today for my recurring headaches.I was very open on my habits so she did blood work.I get a call after work from her and she says my liver is in bad shape.Liver counts are twice as high as the highest safe level.Also my white blood cell count was extremely high number.I am totally freaking out right now.I have to go right now to my primary doctor so Ill let you guys know whats happening to me.Damn am I scared

Follow through, and get to the bottom of this.
Make this the wake up call Homer.
If you've been taking a lot of tylenol for your headaches, that can send the liver enzymes to circus levels. It did for me a few years ago.
Just follow through man. Get to the doc pronto.
Good luck Homer.

Good luck Homer. Take care...and follow through. Stay strong and don't let the fear overwhelm you. I know you're scared, but have faith that things will work out. Strength in numbers. You're in my thoughts...

Hi,I just got back from doc and Im a little more relaxed now.In his own words the numbers were certainly high but not "holy ****" high.I dont take tylenol or any pain releivers so this is purely an alcohol thing.This is absoluttely my wake up call,although last year to hear I have fatty liver was supposed to be my wake up call but that did not stop my dumb ass from drinking.Actually I dont drink anymore.Had a chest xray done to check for pnuemonia or something and it came back clear.He said it must still be the bronchitis and prescribed me some antibiotics.What a day this has been,I was almost shaking with fear mostly because I made the decision to quit days ago and NOW I hear this stuff.Maybe it was meant to happen this way before I got too comfortable and start thinking its ok to have a beer.I CANT drink anymore,now there is proof of the damages to my body and I really dont want to die.I am still very uptight but when my pizza gets here I think I will loosen up.

Glad to hear the results were not as bad as you initially thought.. Yes, a wake up call it shall remain.. Just makes sure it keeps your 'awake'..

All the best.. I plan on going for my physical this month, and already began liver detox with Milk Thistle.....

A big sigh of relief Homer. You know everything happens for a reason. Here is the extra push you've needed to help you get sober. So what kinda pizza did you order? Pizza sounds good... I'll be right over, save me a slice.

Glad to hear it wasn't to bad Homer. Be strong k?

Homer, I now believe that stuff happens for a reason. Life events are no accident. I'm glad to hear that your liver is not critical right now. Us alcoholics are very undisapline. We often need some serious motivation to get us to stop. Sieze the opportunity! I wish you the best.

I am so in control right now,Im done smoking and drinking.I feel good.Had another reminder at work today,the guy,60,missing half his face from cancer, from smoking and drinking all his adult life.His wife said he has 6 months left,very disturbing to me,so I did some free extras on his job.2dayzmuse:sausage and cheese, but sorry my fatass ate it all,including the box

Dan

Just keep your fat ass self in a positive frame of mind, and you'll be laughin bro.
Gotta have 'shrooms on the 'zza next time Homer.

2dayzmuse

Cardboard is good fiber Homer. No worries. Yep, 'shrooms are good especially if you pair some black olives with them. Sausage and cheese, 'shrooms, black olives and some pepperoni for good measure. Now that's a pizza.

Hi Homer
Glad things went ok at the docs - anyway keep with those pizza's + ditch the booze - better to have a fat ass than no ass.
