Doctor wrote a script for blood tests again .
I will get it done next week .
I think I have a bad liver and will die soon.

Its pretty common to have that fear - we abuse ourselves a lot as drinkers - but most of us seem to come out the other side more or less in one piece

Try and not let your fear run away with you NONIA

Hey Nonia - I was exactly in same place maybe two months ago. Doctor, blood tests and big fear waiting for results. - I have some liver damage but it is reversible if I do not drink. If I drink then it could lead to worse.

But I drank again and is day 1 again for me today. How crazy is that? - to drink on a bad liver ?

Please dont do the same.

Hi, Nonia. I'm glad you're following with taking good care of yourself.

I agree with Dee-- Many of us have that fear. I am just at day 5 and am trying to not let my fears get the best of me.

NONIA

No word on blood draw , no news is good news ?

Dee74

I think so..if there's something wrong, the likelihood is they'd have let you know right away Nonia

I have some type of allergy , have to see another doc grrrr .

Dee74

I hope you get answers this time NONIA

NONIA

I saw headshrinker today . He said there is nothing wrong with me .

ReadyAtLast

Are you still drinking? Were you totally honest with him ? Seems very odd that a psychiatrist would just say there is nothing wrong with somebody after 1 session. Hardly even scratch the surface in 1 hour

Hi Nonia

not sure why you had to see a psych doc.
is having nothing wrong with you a good thing, or a bad thing?

Hows the allergy stuff?

NONIA

I go see a proper allergy doc soon.
I was honest with shrink , I spoke with him about 20 mins .

NONIA

Doc said I have purpura . He took a skin biopsie to check for skin cancer .

Dee74

Hope the biopsy comes back negative NONIA :l

NONIA

NONIA

Saw doc today , no skin cancer !

Dee74

I'm really glad there is no skin cancer NONIA
