excessive alcohol ( update )

[kenny]

been out the past 6 weekends in a row with my mates. didnt think much about it till i started getting severe pains in my side.

went to the hospital last night as i couldnt take the pain anymore i was literally crying because of it. been diagnosed with either inflamed gall bladder or something called alcohol hepatitis (sp)

makes me think about it all. anyone else experienced anything like this at all.

deffo wont be going out for a while now. just a warning to yous as i wouldnt wish this pain on anyone :n:

[Dez]

wow mate that sounds rash, i never had it tbh because i only really get wankered once a month!

[kenny]

[medz_vtrturbo]

im not gonna lie and say i dont drink loads when im out but its a nightmare its happened to me, ive been off the booze for ages till lately :(

[liamk15]

id be fucked if i got this,ive only missed about 4-5 saturdays in the last 2 years :ponder:

[furioAL]

Current healthy limits for drinking are 21units a week for men and 14 for women... and it's advised not to have more than 2-3units per day...

Otherwise you significantly increase the chance of developing many harmful illnesses including: diabetes, cancer, hepatits, portal hypertension, liver cirrhosis and many many more... you also don't do your immune system any favours...

Hope you get better soon Kenny :y:

Alex
:)

EDIT - also... a unit is ALOT smaller than people think...

[kylie]

someone i know had to go into hospital with liver failure due to excessive drink. like this every weekend. was quite serious. never stopped him though. still drinks like a fish all the time n loadsa pills n shit aswell i rek. need to look after ya liver. these pains are an early warning!

[craig180]

The trick is to not stop drinking! Seriously, I bet you only ever feel it when you're sober?

[Jules]

hope you get better soon Kenny:hug:
keep taking the tylex they should kill any pain you have, the hospital gave me them when i done my leg in, made me sleep for a week lol:y:

[wallsy]

Shit, sounds bad mate! Ive been going out like every weekend for the past 2 months and the occasional thursday (student night woo ;) ) but think i might cut it down abit!

Hope you feel better soon bud.

[Amiee]

I dont drink for ages and then drink about a years worth when I do go out to make up for it... lol not good! Suprised a havent had anything seriously wrong yet!


Sounds like shit tbh, but get better even though it is self inflicted

[shooorn94]

A mate at Uni got something similar, however he was in hospital for three days :panic:

Good thing I don't drink... but how much had you been drinking-(aprox pints per night etc.)

[Adamski]

ive had it a few times, nothing as bad as needing to go to the hospital. its never a good sign though!

[Gatesy]

never had pains but had all sorts of other problems. spent a full week in bed so i packed it in. havent drank for nearly 2 years now and feel better for it.

[frankie]

sounds nasty mate, get well soon.

but imo, your only here once, make the must of it. :cool:

[Luke]

Sounds nasty mate.

I'm glad I'm one of these who doesn't drink much.

[kenny]

when im out i usually get platered but i dont get into the state where i cant walk etc.

really has made me think about what its doing for my liver. was sore on saturday before i went but never thought anything of it as i presumed it was from working as i had been doing loads of heavy lifting.

cant sleep well at nite which is crap :wall:

[bullit]

stomach pains, shagged stomach linings, shagged livers and mental problems have all hit one of us. some lads i know will be in a a grave in few years without question.
i rarely tank it up now if im honest, not worth it now.

i have to admit its made me look at my lifestyle alot more. im going to start going to the gym again and playing golf and footy.

didnt think it would come to this tbh. ive got to go to doctors tommorow for a liver screening tho to make sure all is ok and its just temporary.

[kenny]

UPDATE---


well i was admitted to the hospital on wednesday after being to the doctors as he wasnt happy on how i was feeling.

done alot of tests to see the cause and they came to the conclusion ive got irregularities with my liver grrr.

soo annoying but feeling a bit better, got to go get more blood taken in a week to see how im getting on so hopefully be on the mend soon.

[Asaxo]

Glad to hear your feeling better.
I don't even know you, but it must be horrible.
Take care mate.

[ShaneVtr]

tbh, how many alcoholics have been drinking like a bottle of whisky a day and are only seeing the effect in their 40's? i dont drink alot but i could be classed as a binge drinker i guess. if i go out i get smashed, not to the point i cant walk or im throwing up but smashed never the less.

Get welll soon mate :y:

[bullit]

youll be fine kenny :)

[kenny]

got my results today at long last and im all fine. was a slight enzyme (sp) problem but nothing serious. was likely caused by some sort of infection but im all great now :P


cant describe how releived i am tbh.

[bullit]
