day 3..
I posted on here before... allot happened 'probably' excuses but didn't get past day 2..
But going to stick it out, all i can say is after day 1 more vision was better, and contact lens felt more comfortable.
On day 3 redness of face face gone down, specially when drying face with a towel, it goes back to normal colour quickly.
Biggest issue I've had from i think is drinking is constant tension headaches, although all doctor said its down to anxiety and stress and gave tablets too counter act this.. They didn't help.
By constant, I mean its been there every day for almost a year!! hopefully, this will clear quickly when blood vessels go down, this will be biggest motivation to keep on!!! so annoying.. but one of them thinks you can get used to, what i guess is a scary thought and maybe alcohol saying its okay.. drink..
Any question you might have I will fully honestly, talk and answer, i'll try to make this a log of the ups and downs of it all

Thank you
seem to be craving fruit juice and chocolate..
Unsure if should just embrace this for a week or so? Then cut back sugar.. ?
Not a medical question.. just personal thought, i have good control over food and can be strict with that area. hmmm

When I was drinking all day every day (and the middle of the night) all I wanted was salty food, no sugar. Tons of ramen and hot dogs (and gained 20 lbs in 3 months, not awesome). Day 2 and I woke up craving a donut. Right there with you!

I never craved salt.. was but i always ate in morning.. and took tablets when drinking vit B supplements. stopped shakes n stuff!! Amazing how you become expert in covering it up..
Oddest thing is, my face keep going from red as when i first wake up after heavy drinking too back to a natural colour over last couple of days.
Hard to judge other effects, as my tension headache is still their, unsure how long will take it to clear im completely certain its connected too drinking and nothing else!!
Although, not seen anyone else that has reported constant tension headache based on drinking.
But it is inflamed blood vesels what cause it and when i had a eye test and they scan your eyes with the camera thing they spotted bigger then normal blood vessels they only normally see in old people with high blood pressure, I went to doctor as advised and blood pressure was normal.

Mine happened when i started drinking heavy when split with ex..
4 weeks of spirits daily.. about 3 hours sleep..
After that drank less.. but still allot.
Tension headache has been there for over a year, constantly..
informed doctor, after first say 3 months.. he gave me tablets for stress and said "You cannot drink while taking these" guessing he had an idea..
well they made me feel worse so stopped taking them, plus drank with them.
Got to stage where headache was normal, never got worse or better, consistent so just lived with it. I hope it goes, that will be biggest motivation to stick at this, among other..
I can feel that pulse in temple has gone down, used to be able to feel it so strongly to touch, its now dropped to about average, maybe slightly above.
To explain, before could feel it just by lightly touching on it it as if was throbbing out of skin, now have to put slight pressure on it to feel it
Biggest improvement, is eye sight, I have astigmatism (not long sighted or short sighted at all), i noticed it was worse after drinking heavy.
4 day after not drinking, i got in car.. drove to get haircut then noticed i wasn't wearing contact lens and could focus on cars number plates/licences plates say 30 meters away!

Hi renshaw, I'm new around here, but just wanted to say I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Something that has helped me with the sick feeling and headaches are really strong peppermints. Or even better, a dab of peppermint oil on the back of the neck. Thinking of you and hope you're feeling much better very soon.
