I have had all kinds of cirhosis indications for quite some time, terry's nails. beaus lines, palmer erythemia (sp?). abd. pain., and gurd.

I had just about purchased my grave stone, and in a horrible funk so i went to a real doctor.


all my labs are normal and my liver is right sized. What a relief and a reminder that my thinking problem could lead back to my drinking problem.

i wanted to share about the reality of my fright and the internrt searching experience

glad you are ok! what did your doctor say about your drinking?

dhg66

keep up the good work.

Yup, I did the same. Turns out that although very ill from constant drinking, my liver was fine 2 months later when I had labs done. I don't regret any google research I've done- especially in the alcoholism arena and am aware I get "fired up" about all things I delve too deeply into. The fear of being closer to the grave was helpful to me.

I am 26 and did this to myself as well. I even managed to go nuts for a while AFTER receiving totally normal lab results.

It took another visit to my doctor for a physical exam and a visit to my eye doctor (what!?) until I really began to feel like I wasn't dying after all.

All labs and tests normal. Unbelievable how powerful the " thinking" problem can be!

A real Dr Appt is always the way forward!!
