Hi,

Possibly something wrong with the device you’re writing on but the info is difficult to understand - have you had. A fibroscan and not yet had the results or not had the fibroscan?

You mention a relapse - are you still drinking and if so, how long for and how much per day ish?

The pain in your side, is your tummy distended at all or anything that looks like fluid retention?

You do need to go back to your gp and ask for further help and a fibroscan with results if you’ve not had them. You do say US was all clear though?

If nothing is medically amiss drink related and any noticeable liver damage can be ruled out, and you’re still drinking, what you may be feeling is a knowledge within yourself that you’re drinking too much and putting yourself at risk.. if you haven’t stopped after the relapse, you may feel a whole lot better if you pop along to an AA meeting….

All said with love and understanding as someone who, with luck and guidance, will be sober 3 years at the end of this month
