Help with labs after decreasing dose
To back up, a few months back I abruptly
quit
drinking
alcohol. I then experienced what I would call a mini thyroid storm with many hyper symptoms, and my labs came back with suppressed TSH and border line high T4/T3.

SAY NO TO USING ANY TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
Tobacco can be used in many different forms – but all are linked to cancer. There is no safe way to use tobacco.

When does my exhale and mouth stop smelling like an ashtray?
Hi Everybody! I am in the 4th day, 12 hours. After many tries & failing, this is probably the best thing that happened. I had a cold that lead to the worst case of bronchitis imaginable. I couldn't talk on the phone without spasms of coughing and bringing up gunk. 2 rounds of Antibiotics and Steroids

As soon as they suggested it was something with my liver I
quit
drinking
. I have read EVERYTHING I can get my hands on to help me help myself. Two steps forward one step back but in general staying healthy. I actually am really happy without the alcohol.

No Butts About It: 50 Reasons to Quit Smoking 🚬🚬🚭🚭🚭
Smoking is an expensive habit. Beyond the $5 to $13 for a pack of cigarettes (depending on where you live) it also costs the lives of 480,000 Americans, $300 billion in medical expenses and $156 billion in lost productivity each year, according to the CDC. With such a staggering expense at stake, it's

The following post was taken from our tubbys post a couple of months ago. Think for a moment of your life as a tightly woven piece of fabric. Each thread represents your life events and experiences, and running alongside the many "life" threads are threads of a finer gauge. They are so fine in fact

I want to try again. Words for anyone who's thinking of going back.
This post was written by one of our members (Katdol) about 10 months ago. It's just a word of advice for us all. I quit smoking for 7 months cold turkey and relapsed. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I have been smoking (heavily) for a month now. And I'm right back to coughing and wheezing just

Having a beer...
But the reason my EP and I decided to do the ablation was because I told him I’m young and I don’t want to
quit
drinking
alcohol. I enjoy my social activities with friends. I guess my question is I’m back to normal with everything else in my life.

New and need advice
For a variety of reasons, in late April I
quit
drinking
alcohol completely. I felt like my wine habit was getting out of control and truth be told had been so for over 15 years. It's hard not to make some sort of connection to this.

Has anyone had Ascites disappear, but then return?
I
quit
drinking
as soon in April. I eat an obsessively healthy diet with liver healthy foods. I take Milk Thistle, NAC, and Schisandra as well as other researched vitamins. I pay for blood tests out of pocket every 2 weeks to keep track of progress. All my numbers have improved a lot.

I don't miss fruit juices and I had
quit
drinking
any kind of soda long before the CKD diagnosis (my illness was caught very late.....Stage 4 - GFR of 23). I felt good for staving off dialysis for 3 years! I really started this post to ask about the cottage cheese, but I got carried away.

Any statistics or info on Life span after quitting alcohol? Friend is panicking
But now hes wavering, keeps fretting about all the people he knew, including former drinkers who “died young “, even if they
quit
drinking
. He’s very depressed by this, feels “doomed”. He hasn't gone back to drink yet.
