Needing some adv

[Bak04]

Hi guys, I’m worrying myself to death with the symptoms I have had pain under right rib for a good few years which now hurts in my back and shoulder blade. I gave up drinking end of Nov. When I was drinking I was drinking about 7 pints a night and then a lot of last year was about 2 bottles of wine a night. I started feeling ill beginning of Dec few weeks after giving up drink. (funny coincidence) and since then have noticed lots more symptoms. Sweating at night. Which smells awful. Sour but can detect a musty smell to. Hair thinning. Feeling sick. Been sick a few times. Weight and muscle loss really to an extreme. From 80 kg to 65kg I don’t sleep at night which has been going on a good few years didn’t think anything of it. Changes in my nails and now have pain under left side rib. My testicles have shrunk and the scrotum is what I’d say swollen. I’ve had a liver function blood test that came back normal. But they did say I was low in folic acid, which I’m taking tablets for. Doctors don’t seem to be worried at all. Back there Thursday thou. Does anybody have any advice? Or where to go from here please?

I also suffer with severe ocd. Which is why the drinking started. Took it all away. At the time. Stupid me!

Thought I’d replied. Very scared at moment too. Very constipated, weak sometimes, horrible taste in mouth. I believe the ELF test is accurate. I have had normal bloods but I believe they’re not reliable. Have drunk bottle of white wine most evenings for years. Went to health centre as I looked yellow 2 months ago, I had bilirubin in urine. They put it down to not eating. Because bloods were okay they will not repeat them. Not had drop of alcohol for 2 months and no better. Yours sounds like withdrawal. Not qualified to comment though of course.
