My son died in September...he was 45 years old with chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, and sadly chronic Alcoholism...he literally Drank himself to Death...His story sounds exactly like yours...I hope you are flourishing and hopeful...you are helping so many with your story...Thank you ✌️
Hello. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am 44, so right there in age. It does sound exactly like my story. Did he ever stop, or did he drink until the end? It is such a hard thing to quit. The withdrawal and the feeling of emptiness without the alcohol is almost unbearable. I still don't know how I was able to quit drinking. I had tried so many times to no avail. Your son and yourself are in my prayers. Please continue to watch. I have so much to talk about that I'm sure you can level with. I am going to make a video today about how alcoholics are treated in the hospital and by the staff. I'm sure you will agree with and be able to understand exactly what I am going to be discussing. Thank you, God bless.
Thank you once again for another helpful video. It's a strong tool in my tool box and helping me with my struggle. It's really not helpful listening to people that say 'I got sober, I used to get drunk every weekend or drink everyday' I'm not proud of my level of drinking but really reassuring knowing that I'm not the only one that does this...
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter 2 years ago. She was 39. I am broken. She abused drugs and alcohol for years. When she got c@vid, her liver was shot and she couldn't fight off the smallest cold let alone that. No parent should have to lose a child. 💔
I always wondered what the signs were along the way. Most people who make these videos don't talk about the 'before' diagnosis of cirrhosis. This video was REALLY REALLY informative. Please make more like these!
Thank you so much. I will continue to make more like these. I already have a list of many many ideas for videos to come. So many things that I wanted answers to when I was first diagnosed and was bed ridden for months. I watched sp many videos and didn't really get the answers I was looking for. Please stay tuned, God bless you!
You're good at leveling with people dude. I drank since I was 12 and just got a real handle on it in the last few years. Just turned 34 a couple weeks ago. I have lots of stories I could tell also. Had temporary diabetes at one point from a 3 week bender in 2016 etc. Our whole society needs to wake up and stop revolving almost everything around getting a drink.
Hey man, thanks for watching. I would really like to do some interviews with people like you here in the near future. Would you be interested? Let me know. Thank you and God bless. I really appreciate your kind words.
@ACEshredZ hey there. I'm going to set up a social media account for this channel. I'll get it set up today and put the link in this thread. I'll make sure it's linked in the comments section or description from now on, on all videos I post. Give me a little while and I'll post the link so you can dm me on there.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk Right on! Definitely have quite a bit of insight to share. This is a very deep subject and clearly, many people can relate and can use some comfort and empathy. Looking forward to it. Stay well.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I've never met another alcoholic that I could relate to so much health wise and mentally. Thankfully I was able to fully recover from liver disease after a year. After 12 years of drinking a half liter every day. Keep posting ❤
Thank you for posting these very honest videos. Addiction is no joke, and you should be proud of yourself for not only getting sober and taking care of your health now, but also for sharing your story. You are helping people including myself who have struggled and are struggling with addiction. Please keep posting ❤
Hello! You are welcome! Please subscribe to my channel if you have not yet. I will continue posting probably a video everyday from now on. I am trying to make this into something very big and reach as many people as possible. Every subscriber and comment helps. Thank you so much for watching, and for the very nice comment. All the best to you on your journey with sobriety. God bless.
I had a friend that died from choking on his vomit. He was an alcoholic. But, he only drank Guinness beer. But, that was all it took. He was in his twenties. I had a friend that owned a bar and his friend died the same way. He walked him home and put him in bed on his back. His friend was in his early 20's when he did it. But, I knew him in his 70's and he still felt guilty that he didn't put him to bed on his side. He used to warn the college kids that would come into his Irish pub about it. Hearing you tell stories about your life shouldn't be at all embarrassing for you. It's like listening to someone retelling mine. God bless you and your family, brother!
Hello brother! Thank you for watching. Jeez man. It's so sad. I had no idea many people died from that. I almost did so many times. Thank you for watching and God bless.
You are helping many people. Those who care about someone who is a heavy drinker can learn from your warning signs too! Thanks for sharing such personal info.
Wow, your poor gut was trying to communicate with you for a very long time buy sending you all those signals, help me, help me!!! No more alcohol, no more soda, I cant take it any longer!!! Glad you finally listened to him.
I like your content guy. I’m closing in on 1000 days myself. You are an inspiration. I obsessed over getting bad news for years and never went to the Dr as a result. I always tell people just go cause if it’s too late it’s too late but if not maybe tomorrow is too late. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that! And yes! You are so right! You could potentially catch something before it's too late! God bless
That anxiety is because of too much Glutamate in one's system. Alcohol stimulates the calming neurotransmitter, GABA (why it relieves anxiety and feels so good), but then there is a corresponding rebound of its opposite stimulating neurotransmitter, Glutamate (since the body always tries to maintain homeostasis/balance). The best explanation of all this I read in a book by William Porter, Alcohol Explained (also has a YT channel). There are things one can do/take to restore the GABA/Glutamate balance (after quitting). But long story short, pretty much all that anxiety/nervousness after alcohol wears off, is due to excess Glutamate (why some people eventually start drinking during the night/morning...there is just so much stimulating Glutamate in the body that it's just impossible to sleep/function) . But yeah...the WORST feeling in the world! 😔✌️
My family member passed away at 37 from liver failure. About 6 months before he died he lost a ton of weight. Went from being a huge dude to being somewhat skinny. That’s a massive red flag.
I love your videos thank you. Im a 36 year old female living in Australia, i dont have cirrhosis of the liver but recently got sick. Now been diagnosed with fatty liver disease caused from alcohol and some bowel issues that were discovered with a CT scan. I still sometimes get pain under the leff rib but they say pancreas is looking ok at the moment. Its true when they say you dont have to be a full blown alcoholic to do damage. The drs are hopeful that with lifestyle change i can hopefully get my bloods and liver back to normal. Thanks again for the info on liver disease.
Thank you for watching! I'm really sorry you are going through this. I really hope that things improve for you! Please continue to watch, so much more to come. God bless. New video coming today.
WOW dude your lucky u r still here. U were scaring me with your stories. Especially vomiting in your sleep. You r a very special person and I hope to god u get better. My heart goes out to u. Sending u hugs. There is something about you speaking I just couldn’t stop listening to u. Prayers
Get well soon... 🙏 I am sorry you have been thru so much because of this disease. I am glad u are taking better care of yourself. Sending healing vibes!!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I destroyed my body with alcohol. Here am now making videos though, it was meant to be. Thanks again. Stay tuned, and God bless.
You look so much better since your first video!! Omg...I am hoping you feel good and keep progressing. Enjoy your knowledge. I've had a liver biopsy and have some high liver enzymes for years. I was an active substance user for about 15 years but have been clean over 5 years...
I think you telling your life stories are/will be very helpful to a lot of people! I’m not a drinker but have family members that are. I also live in Charleston btw. Best wishes. Keep up the videos and putting it out there and keeping it real dude
My 31 yo son is not a drinker either. He was just diagnosed w/severe acute fatty liver disease. I'm in the medical field & I'm now wondering, what has been different in our world in the past 3 years in particular? That injection has a huge effect of your liver. Is that why all these young people, who were only trying to "save Gramma", are sick, dying, or suddenly dead?
This disease is so diabolical. The fact that you were that sick and had so many stomach problems and you still drank alcohol. I’m not an alcoholic but my dad was. He quit in his 50s and lived to be 86 sober. I think what saved him physically was that he always ate well. But the drinking did take a toll on his business, marriage and relationships.
Thanks for sharing your experience my friend. I have experienced most of the same symptoms as you, I also have been putting these issues in the back of my mind because I didn’t want to hear the doctors diagnosis. God Bless you my friend; it’s time for me to schedule an appointment with my doctor.
Although i don't have liver issues. I can relate. As ive been in the food industry my whole life also. And ended up drinking and taking things i shouldn't be. I did quit all that 4 years ago during the pandemic. But recently discovered a huge mass on my kidney. Its actually bigger then the kidney itself. Ive lost a very large amount of weight . I am 6ft 1 i was only 195lbs. So not that heavy. But now its pretty bad. I have alot of things happening at once right now. And its really testing my sobriety. Im losing my job after 28 years. With the diagnosis just 2 weeks before this. Im still sober. I guess thats all that matters. Hoping for the best for al of us
The symptoms I had when Hemochromatosis started affecting my liver was: Night Sweats, leg cramps, & hives-like rashes on my legs. I was also very big - I lifted too - I was 321lbs. I’ve subsequently have lost 150lbs over 2 years by cutting out refined carbs. I eat no fruit because fructose goes straight to your liver. I eat mostly proteins and cruciferous vegetables. I only drink water, and one cup of decaf green tea. I hardly eat any dairy as the lactose bothers my stomach. I cut out all soda. Luckily I didn’t have diabetes, and eating low-carb has had me control my sugars.
Hello, thanks for watching. Good for you on all the positive things you have done for yourself. 150 lbs! That's awesome! Looks like you are right on point with your diet. Cruciferous veg all give me gas so bad that I don't touch them. I love them, but if I even look at broccoli I start to fart. Thank you for sharing your diet, stay tuned, and good bless.
The anxiety and driving hit me 100%! I had the same feelings all the time. I've pulled over so many times while driving thinking "This is the end I'm going to die right here on the side of the road." I also used alcohol to 'treat' anxiety but it was always worse the next day.
Hey! Exactly! I'm not the only one! I have never talked to someone else who had the same fear as me. I would sweat, palms would be soaking wet, I thought I was a dieing. Thank you for this.... stay tuned, God bless!
@liverdisease-qb6rk I felt the same exact way when I heard you say it. Thought I was the only one that dealt with that when drinking. Thanks again for posting so much. It is really helpful to us as I'm sure it is to you.
Me too. I can’t tell you how many times. If I saw rest area I pulled over at each one. Each stop was me panic attacking out trying to get to the next one u til I reached my destination.
@lawschoolpro crazy how many people had the same problem I did.... I really thought I was the only one with tgat issue. Thank you for watching. God bless
Yeah my bowel was horrible for 5yrs. The pain was terrible. 5 to 6 times a day. Just horrible. I was same with food when out. Totally changes your life when you stop. I feel amazing now. Once a day, healthy man. I feel human again. Really fucks with your mind.
Hello. Thank you for watching! Yes... it does get so much better when you stop. I have had my bouts with it, but that's only been when I have been in the hospital, or when I have to take lactulose. It will give you the runs, really bad. Thanks again. Stay tuned, God bless.
My sister was just diagnosed. She is 60. She had that anxiety like you had; always complained of feeling bloated; always drank rum or whiskey 🤢 with pop. She was diagnosed right after New Years. Im so scared for her. I pray she has watched some of your videos. I have sent her a few. She hasn't drank for a month. She was admitted 3 weeks ago with ruptured esophageal varices. She had started throwing up blood, got jaundice and high ammonia levels and didn't know who anyone was. It was so scary! They banded the varices. She was always afraid to go to the doctor and was probably just like you. So far so good, but she is fatigued, has a scope next week. Diuretics are working. BP is excellent. She said she feels good, but I'm scared for her. I don't drink, but I am here to learn about this awful disease. Thank you for sharing you journey. I pray for you and you family and please pray for my sister. God Bless You.
Thank you for sharing. Good luck in your recovery. I am amazed at how much you were able to physically endure. It’s just amazing how much an addiction will allow us to destroy ourselves.
i'm from West Virginia glad you are doing these videos there are people that have reversed or even brought there condition state or halted so keep a positive attitude keep up the good work
Hey there! Where at in WV are you located? My wife is from Charles Town. Right there at harpers ferry. What a beautiful area! My family on my dad's side are all from VA in a small town called Broadway right there as well. I really appreciate you saying that, it means a lot. Stay tuned and God bless.
thanks for the reply Yes it is i'm from clarksburg it is south of about 45 min from morgantown also we are about a hour east of parkersburg it is another big city you may know @@liverdisease-qb6rk
I just got out of the hospital and I’m recovering from pancreatitis. That’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life!! So, my body is trying to tell me to STOP the alcoholic drinking!! I’m going to have a hard time with a low fat diet. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Hey there! Sorry you are going through this right now. I know the pain.... you are going through he'll right now. It gets better, it takes about 2 months after before you will start feeling better most of the way. Eat small meals and eat slow. I know it hard. But you need food to get better. Sugar free jello and sugar free pudding are a staple for me when I get it. I also drink protein shakes all the time, my pancreas is always upset. It's in really bad shape. I'll pray for you, I hope you feel better soon! God bless, and please keep me posted on how you're doing. I really care.
Thanks for sharing your story, its motivational as I find myself struggling with wine and whisky although no diagnosis yet. I'm hoping on a speedy recovery for you.
Thank you! I know exactly where you're coming from. Most are so busy, it's in and out. You ask a question and they look at you like you have a horn growing out of your head. Hope you get the answers you need. Thanks for watching, God bless!
Hey this might sound presumptive so please forgive me but it would be incredible to hear your wife’s side of the story. To hear her side of constantly playing that game of cat and mouse with finding bottles hid everywhere, how she perceived your behavior and mood changing over the years and then dealing with the whole medical thing. Anyways I know it might not be her thing but she sounds like an incredibly strong, compassionate and courageous person who was right there during the whole time. 🙏🏻💪👍
Hello! That's a great idea. I don't know if she would. She doesn't watch these videos, she doesn't want to relive what we went through and I understand that. I will ask her, I highly doughty she will though. She wants me to make these and do my part to help. She doesn't even like talking about it much either. It's probably for tge best anyway because I might hold back on talking about some things if she watched. Stay tuned, maybe she can write a letter that I can read or something if she is not interested. God bless!
Great idea for a video. This is difficult to hear now because I already care about you, as a friend in my head and fellow alcoholic in recovery ❤️🩹. Take care.
Hey there again! Thank you so much for the kind words. I care for everyone here, looks like we are creating somewhat of a community. I'm really proud to have everyone commenting and taking part in this. Thanks again. I'll see you again. God bless
The only reason I recover so quickly is bc of the gym. Don’t kid yourself. It matters. Ima bit bigger at 6’2 230, and need to lose 15, however just coming out of the hospital, I’m trying to eat, and gym is outta the question until new years. Best of luck brother. I’m here if you need me. Thank you for posting your vids. I’ve watched them. Your situation mirrors mine so I can relate. But yah I never was very overweight bc booze made me not want to eat, plus I didn’t want to mess with the buzz. Stay healthy brother.my last bout I broke bones. That’s the line in the sand for me. I pray to God not to be afflicted ever again.
I use to put my car in park at red lights and the same fking thing would happen at left turns, insane but it would always be when I’d come off the liquor. Never heard anyone else do that but hey, us alcoholics have so much in common. Great video brother, new subscriber here!
Thank you for this! I did the same thing. I always put it in park. Would look around the car instead of looking at the light cause I was so scared. You're not the only one who has told me this as well. There are more like us! Thank you for the comment, God bless
Its scary especially when i was driving my mind went blank for second..i forgot where i was, I was only a block away from my house..even worse i had picked up my kids from school.i looked at them..I was winging of my drinking..now im sober since dec 25,23. I wont forget. cirrhosis i have.low sodium diet off transplant list only 12.meld score..yeah I was trying to deal with past shit alone and anxiety..i worked out alot. But now i feel lik a sluggish lazy person.🙄
@@liverdisease-qb6rk My platelets go down. Going for the endoscope(what ever its called) they put a camera down my throat to make sure I dont have any internal bleeding..I did vomit once in er and got the band to stop the bleeding. just staying positive. yeah, thanks for sharing ur video. God bless 🎅
Happy to see you doing better now. I think alot of people can relate to this. Its a slippery slope that doesnt end well. Crazy how much alcohol is glamorized and everywhere and accepted.
I can relate to the incontinence, after taking lactulose I had to make sure I was alway near a restroom, it starts affecting many aspects of your life. You can improve if you put in the effort.
Thank you for the comment. Yes, it's not fun taking that stuff. But, it's needed. I am trying everyday, some days are harder than others. This channel has really helped me so much, just to talk about it and get it off my chest. I have tried talking to other people about this who don't ha e a problem and I can just see the glaze form over their eyes most times, they are not interested and or can't relate at all. Stay tuned, and God bless.
I used to have the exact same anxiety about left turning lanes. I felt trapped. It’s called agoraphobia- afraid of being trapped somewhere you cannot escape. Alcohol definitely heightens those anxieties!
Scott Freda is the gentleman he is talking about. He is down to earth and in your face. Also is a consultant now that shows you how to get sober and how to help your body heal. Look him up.
Thank you for your knowledge and will power ❤ I am watching and listening to you. I'm wondering what my friend is going through. She doesn't say a real lot. She has said though that it has affected her mind 😢❤
I had a lot of these symptoms before I found out I was a diabetic throwing up in my sleep because I also have gastroparesis From not taking care of my sugar the right way I been diabetic for 13 years my dad passed from cirrhosis of the liver it’s a pretty painful disease to have the lactulose medication is horrible my dad decided he was done taking it and it wasn’t long after he passed he was a terrible alcoholic all of his life terrible way to go .
Hello. Thank you for the comment. I also suffer from gastroparesis as well. I have had ercps done and food from days before has still bee. In my stomach. I'm so sorry to hear about your father. Stay tuned, so much more to come, God bless.
Same as folks , if jacking in Drink ,Don't go cold turkey, i did ,not advised & can be Dangerous ,half amounts or at least have a day or 2 off, 14 years freedom ..keep strong
A few things that could help. Look into Serrapeptase (eats scar tissue) Nattokinase (stops blood clots) both enzymes. ALAr with selenium, DMSO, H202 (one minute cure) & Liver Cure.
You were thinking of Scott Frieda does alcohol shorts. He’s in recovery and, I think, he is living with cirrhosis too. My question is how many symptoms and illnesses do you still have? Diarrhea, vomiting, ibs, gout etc.
Yeah, I think that's him. He always wears a button up shirt that's unbuttoned halfway down? I get really bad stomach aches still. That's due to my pancreas. I have to have another ercp on it January 4th. I'll talk about that in the next video. I had to cancel my hernia surgery because of it. I still get very nauseous everyday, no gout lately, I try my best not to vomit because when I do, those varicose veins rupture and I start throwing up blood, then I'm in the hospital getting blood transfusions.
Hey... I'm so sorry. But day 5 is awesome!!!! It gets better in just a couple of days! I promise! Drink lots of fluids and coffee. The coffee really helps a lot. It helps the headaches and the lethargy. Hang in there! You are doing great! Keep.me posted on how you are doing. God bless
Diarrhea and vomit is Diabetes. Also alcoholism. Killed my son's father via pancreatic cancer in 2011. He had that diarrhea every morning. He would randomly vomit here and there. He did not make it to 50.
I am trying to remember the anxiety and physical symptoms 12 days ago. I got out of the hospital and the anxiety started bad the last few days since being home. But I’m finally thinking I need to be sober not just think about not drinking too much. It’s taken a lot.
How could you have your elbow swollen up multiple inches and not see a doc, espceially if you ain't injured it my man? Like damn. I'm not shitting on you bro but i'm telling other people, do not ignore things that are very out of the ordinary... early detection of a million things saves life, limbs, organs, function. Stay aware out there! And i'm not perfect on this i've let stuff run on for way too long that was obviously a serious problem And much love to you brother it sounds from the clips i've wat hed youve been thru terrible pain. Especially if it's out of the ordinary and doesn't go away, then 1000% go to a doc.
Thank you for the comment. I would never go to the Dr. Back then. I was too scared of what they would tell me, so yes, i avoided that among other things. God bless
Hello Kenny! Absolutely! I never took a day off.... ever! I was a very bad alcholic. Thank you for watching. Thank you for the question. Please subscribe, God bless.
Hey! Thanks for watching! I have Gerd as well. Are you on pantropazole for it? I have to take it twice a day, and of course my insurance only covers one pill a day.... but the Dr's want me taking two. I just don't understand. Anyway, thanks again, stay tuned, God bless.
How can people drink so much and not think their medical problems don't come from drinking? Your wife must have been a saint. Hopefully you stay on the right track.
So what are the treatments you are on? I went to the doctor puking blood and all this finally a dr. Said I had alcoholic fatty liver I quit drinking and the symptoms just get worse everyday. This is going on a year now pain in the right side and severe anxiety even shaking. Random fevers.
Hello. Thank you for watching. Mostly from alcohol. I have had problems with nausea ever since all this has happened though. I take Zofran daily to combat it though. Stay tuned,God bless
Hey, thanks for watching. Sorry about all the background noise. I don't even review my videos before posting. I went back and watched and you're right. I'll make sure I don't do that again. Stay tuned, and God bless. Thanks for letting me know. I wouldn't have known that if you hadn't told me.
Lol the only reason I never became a full blown alcoholic was because of the dry heave in the morning… I could not have that next drink. I had to wait a few hours or until I felt better which was usually in the evening… rinse & repeat…
I completely understand that. I just pushed through it. I would gag, vomit, and drink some more to feel better. Now looking back, I can't believe what I used to do.
I was lucky i STOPPED before it was too late After months sober my enzymes are already much lower and my liver isnt inflammed BUT i had fatty deposits on my liver and if i kept up man idk
This must’ve been so hard on your wife I’m sure many females would not have put up with this at all. Specially, since you were throwing up in your sleep and still drinking, that is beyond.
Yes. Most women would leave. We have been together since we were kids. She knew me before I had a problem, so she had hope I would turn it around one day. Thank you for watching, God bless.
I have just reached out to him to see if he would be interested in collaborating with me. I would like to do a video talking with him. We will see. God bless.
The pancreas does not like fat. I was sub acute pancreatitis for years. All good now. Mostly carnivore, lots of fat. Sugar makes me feel really ill, fruits ok.
Hello there. Yes, it does not. I have to be very careful about what I eat at the moment. I just had 2 stints put into my pancreatitic duct, very very painful. I have to have those removed and 3 placed in on January 4th. Each time I have a procedure I have about a month of dealing with my pancreas being very sensitive. Thank you for the comment, stay tuned, and God bless.
My symptoms before a seizure are like physical anxiety (not like mental anxiety like a racing mind, but like physical restless anxiety). Other people report auras which i think is like circles around sources of light.
Hahaha!!!! I was fat! And I didn't really eat. It was all just booze. I am currently 143 now. So much better. I was around 110 at my sickest. Thank you for the comment. God bless
Hey there. Thanks for watching. I sure will. I have to figure put this editing thing first. I will put some pictures up though. You will be surprised. I looked like a totally different person. Stay tuned. God bless
Double edged sword with anxiety -- absolutely. LOL Yes --- for me, Left turns would make me anxious bec I was not always a confident driver and would wait too long to make the left. Didn't judge distance well. Timing. Because of my waiting for a clear chance to make the turn, I'd fear people behind me would start Honking. OMG ... Worse with people in the car with me telling me to turn -- Ha ha. What a mess I was.
Well i quit a few times but restarted...making my own wine...sipping all day...never drunk but drinking about 3 liters of 10 per cent wine from kits...im 71 my doc said i had to quit very high ferritin...fatty liver etc...now feeling better...not rock solid yet on quitting ...but close...your story is dramatic...how we get trapped and lie to ourselves
Yes. So true. Sorry I am just getting to your comment. I have to go find them sometimes because they don't all end up in the same place for some reason. God bless and thank you for the comment and watching!
I will when my pancreas settles down. I have had a lot of problems and surgeries on it over the last year and meat is one of the things I have a really hard time digesting. Thank you! God bless
Sigh.... I know. I wish I would have done it. But, everything happens for a reason and now I am here. This is the way that it was supposed to happen. I truly believe that. Stay tuned, God bless.
I can relate with some of his videos so much that it's kind of hard to watch... brings up memories, and not good ones. Thanks for the comment and God bless.
@liverdisease-qb6rk yea me too. I used to hide lq all over the house and I'd have my first drink around 930-10 AM everyday. Towards the end I was drinking about a pint and a half to 2 pints a day of vodka. Never missed a day. 7 days a week. I got gout about 20 times and all the doc told me was watch what u eat and slow down drinking...smh...
@Jeffburns1980 man.... it's so crazy how so many of us were doing the same things. I thought I was the only one. I hate that so many others are doing or were doing the same as me, it's such a terrible disease. God bless brother, you and your family.
That's awesome! 5 months! I bet you feel great now! And yes... nothing but empty calories! The bloating goes away, swelling in the face, redness, it makes you look so much better too. God bless
My son died in September...he was 45 years old with chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, and sadly chronic Alcoholism...he literally Drank himself to Death...His story sounds exactly like yours...I hope you are flourishing and hopeful...you are helping so many with your story...Thank you ✌️
Hello. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am 44, so right there in age. It does sound exactly like my story. Did he ever stop, or did he drink until the end? It is such a hard thing to quit. The withdrawal and the feeling of emptiness without the alcohol is almost unbearable. I still don't know how I was able to quit drinking. I had tried so many times to no avail. Your son and yourself are in my prayers. Please continue to watch. I have so much to talk about that I'm sure you can level with. I am going to make a video today about how alcoholics are treated in the hospital and by the staff. I'm sure you will agree with and be able to understand exactly what I am going to be discussing. Thank you, God bless.
Thank you once again for another helpful video. It's a strong tool in my tool box and helping me with my struggle. It's really not helpful listening to people that say 'I got sober, I used to get drunk every weekend or drink everyday' I'm not proud of my level of drinking but really reassuring knowing that I'm not the only one that does this...
😞 My son's father....
So sorry you lost your son😢
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter 2 years ago. She was 39. I am broken. She abused drugs and alcohol for years. When she got c@vid, her liver was shot and she couldn't fight off the smallest cold let alone that. No parent should have to lose a child. 💔
I always wondered what the signs were along the way. Most people who make these videos don't talk about the 'before' diagnosis of cirrhosis. This video was REALLY REALLY informative. Please make more like these!
Thank you so much. I will continue to make more like these. I already have a list of many many ideas for videos to come. So many things that I wanted answers to when I was first diagnosed and was bed ridden for months. I watched sp many videos and didn't really get the answers I was looking for. Please stay tuned, God bless you!
A lot of the signs he mentioned point towards chronic pancreatitis as well, like constant diarrhea and going to the bathroom
You're good at leveling with people dude. I drank since I was 12 and just got a real handle on it in the last few years. Just turned 34 a couple weeks ago. I have lots of stories I could tell also. Had temporary diabetes at one point from a 3 week bender in 2016 etc. Our whole society needs to wake up and stop revolving almost everything around getting a drink.
Hey man, thanks for watching. I would really like to do some interviews with people like you here in the near future. Would you be interested? Let me know. Thank you and God bless. I really appreciate your kind words.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk My response keeps vanishing. I'd be happy to talk, man. Not sure how to message you directly.
@ACEshredZ hey there. I'm going to set up a social media account for this channel. I'll get it set up today and put the link in this thread. I'll make sure it's linked in the comments section or description from now on, on all videos I post. Give me a little while and I'll post the link so you can dm me on there.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk Right on! Definitely have quite a bit of insight to share. This is a very deep subject and clearly, many people can relate and can use some comfort and empathy. Looking forward to it. Stay well.

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I've never met another alcoholic that I could relate to so much health wise and mentally. Thankfully I was able to fully recover from liver disease after a year. After 12 years of drinking a half liter every day. Keep posting ❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you being here! God bless
Thanks again for posting. I just found your channel. I stopped drinking maybe 10 or 12 days ago. I feel a lot better now. You keep me motivated.
Thank you for posting these very honest videos. Addiction is no joke, and you should be proud of yourself for not only getting sober and taking care of your health now, but also for sharing your story. You are helping people including myself who have struggled and are struggling with addiction. Please keep posting ❤
Hello! You are welcome! Please subscribe to my channel if you have not yet. I will continue posting probably a video everyday from now on. I am trying to make this into something very big and reach as many people as possible. Every subscriber and comment helps. Thank you so much for watching, and for the very nice comment. All the best to you on your journey with sobriety. God bless.
I had a friend that died from choking on his vomit. He was an alcoholic. But, he only drank Guinness beer. But, that was all it took. He was in his twenties. I had a friend that owned a bar and his friend died the same way. He walked him home and put him in bed on his back. His friend was in his early 20's when he did it. But, I knew him in his 70's and he still felt guilty that he didn't put him to bed on his side. He used to warn the college kids that would come into his Irish pub about it. Hearing you tell stories about your life shouldn't be at all embarrassing for you. It's like listening to someone retelling mine. God bless you and your family, brother!
Hello brother! Thank you for watching. Jeez man. It's so sad. I had no idea many people died from that. I almost did so many times. Thank you for watching and God bless.
You are helping many people. Those who care about someone who is a heavy drinker can learn from your warning signs too! Thanks for sharing such personal info.
You are so welcome! God bless
Wow, your poor gut was trying to communicate with you for a very long time buy sending you all those signals, help me, help me!!! No more alcohol, no more soda, I cant take it any longer!!! Glad you finally listened to him.
Yes... i literally poisoning myself. Thank you! I appreciate you watching! God bless
I like your content guy. I’m closing in on 1000 days myself. You are an inspiration. I obsessed over getting bad news for years and never went to the Dr as a result. I always tell people just go cause if it’s too late it’s too late but if not maybe tomorrow is too late. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that! And yes! You are so right! You could potentially catch something before it's too late! God bless
That anxiety is because of too much Glutamate in one's system. Alcohol stimulates the calming neurotransmitter, GABA (why it relieves anxiety and feels so good), but then there is a corresponding rebound of its opposite stimulating neurotransmitter, Glutamate (since the body always tries to maintain homeostasis/balance).
The best explanation of all this I read in a book by William Porter, Alcohol Explained (also has a YT channel). There are things one can do/take to restore the GABA/Glutamate balance (after quitting).
But long story short, pretty much all that anxiety/nervousness after alcohol wears off, is due to excess Glutamate (why some people eventually start drinking during the night/morning...there is just so much stimulating Glutamate in the body that it's just impossible to sleep/function) . But yeah...the WORST feeling in the world! 😔✌️
My family member passed away at 37 from liver failure. About 6 months before he died he lost a ton of weight. Went from being a huge dude to being somewhat skinny. That’s a massive red flag.
Man... so sorry to hear that. 37? That is so young. So sad. And yes... it's a huge red flag. God bless
I love your videos thank you. Im a 36 year old female living in Australia, i dont have cirrhosis of the liver but recently got sick. Now been diagnosed with fatty liver disease caused from alcohol and some bowel issues that were discovered with a CT scan. I still sometimes get pain under the leff rib but they say pancreas is looking ok at the moment. Its true when they say you dont have to be a full blown alcoholic to do damage. The drs are hopeful that with lifestyle change i can hopefully get my bloods and liver back to normal. Thanks again for the info on liver disease.
Thank you for watching! I'm really sorry you are going through this. I really hope that things improve for you! Please continue to watch, so much more to come. God bless. New video coming today.
WOW dude your lucky u r still here. U were scaring me with your stories. Especially vomiting in your sleep. You r a very special person and I hope to god u get better. My heart goes out to u. Sending u hugs. There is something about you speaking I just couldn’t stop listening to u. Prayers
Get well soon... 🙏 I am sorry you have been thru so much because of this disease. I am glad u are taking better care of yourself. Sending healing vibes!!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I destroyed my body with alcohol. Here am now making videos though, it was meant to be. Thanks again. Stay tuned, and God bless.
You look so much better since your first video!! Omg...I am hoping you feel good and keep progressing. Enjoy your knowledge. I've had a liver biopsy and have some high liver enzymes for years. I was an active substance user for about 15 years but have been clean over 5 years...
I think you telling your life stories are/will be very helpful to a lot of people! I’m not a drinker but have family members that are. I also live in Charleston btw. Best wishes. Keep up the videos and putting it out there and keeping it real dude
My 31 yo son is not a drinker either. He was just diagnosed w/severe acute fatty liver disease.
I'm in the medical field & I'm now wondering, what has been different in our world in the past 3 years in particular?
That injection has a huge effect of your liver.
Is that why all these young people, who were only trying to "save Gramma", are sick, dying, or suddenly dead?
Its not something that increased in the past three years. The answer to your question (and assumption) is no. @grnpeepers2683
This disease is so diabolical. The fact that you were that sick and had so many stomach problems and you still drank alcohol. I’m not an alcoholic but my dad was. He quit in his 50s and lived to be 86 sober. I think what saved him physically was that he always ate well. But the drinking did take a toll on his business, marriage and relationships.
Hello there. Thank you for watching. Yes, it is horrible. It takes away so many good people and destroys families. Stay tuned a d God bless.
Thanks for sharing your experience my friend.
I have experienced most of the same symptoms as you, I also have been putting these issues in the back of my mind because I didn’t want to hear the doctors diagnosis.
God Bless you my friend; it’s time for me to schedule an appointment with my doctor.
Although i don't have liver issues. I can relate. As ive been in the food industry my whole life also. And ended up drinking and taking things i shouldn't be. I did quit all that 4 years ago during the pandemic. But recently discovered a huge mass on my kidney. Its actually bigger then the kidney itself. Ive lost a very large amount of weight . I am 6ft 1 i was only 195lbs. So not that heavy. But now its pretty bad. I have alot of things happening at once right now. And its really testing my sobriety. Im losing my job after 28 years. With the diagnosis just 2 weeks before this. Im still sober. I guess thats all that matters. Hoping for the best for al of us
Man, you saved my life. ❤
I don't know how! But thank you for saying that! Hope all is well! God bless
The symptoms I had when Hemochromatosis started affecting my liver was: Night Sweats, leg cramps, & hives-like rashes on my legs. I was also very big - I lifted too - I was 321lbs. I’ve subsequently have lost 150lbs over 2 years by cutting out refined carbs. I eat no fruit because fructose goes straight to your liver. I eat mostly proteins and cruciferous vegetables. I only drink water, and one cup of decaf green tea. I hardly eat any dairy as the lactose bothers my stomach. I cut out all soda. Luckily I didn’t have diabetes, and eating low-carb has had me control my sugars.
Hello, thanks for watching. Good for you on all the positive things you have done for yourself. 150 lbs! That's awesome! Looks like you are right on point with your diet. Cruciferous veg all give me gas so bad that I don't touch them. I love them, but if I even look at broccoli I start to fart. Thank you for sharing your diet, stay tuned, and good bless.
The anxiety and driving hit me 100%! I had the same feelings all the time. I've pulled over so many times while driving thinking "This is the end I'm going to die right here on the side of the road." I also used alcohol to 'treat' anxiety but it was always worse the next day.
Hey! Exactly! I'm not the only one! I have never talked to someone else who had the same fear as me. I would sweat, palms would be soaking wet, I thought I was a dieing. Thank you for this.... stay tuned, God bless!
I haven't had that problem at all since I quit....
@liverdisease-qb6rk I felt the same exact way when I heard you say it. Thought I was the only one that dealt with that when drinking. Thanks again for posting so much. It is really helpful to us as I'm sure it is to you.
Me too. I can’t tell you how many times. If I saw rest area I pulled over at each one. Each stop was me panic attacking out trying to get to the next one u til
I reached my destination.
@lawschoolpro crazy how many people had the same problem I did.... I really thought I was the only one with tgat issue. Thank you for watching. God bless
Yeah my bowel was horrible for 5yrs. The pain was terrible. 5 to 6 times a day. Just horrible. I was same with food when out. Totally changes your life when you stop. I feel amazing now. Once a day, healthy man. I feel human again. Really fucks with your mind.
Hello. Thank you for watching! Yes... it does get so much better when you stop. I have had my bouts with it, but that's only been when I have been in the hospital, or when I have to take lactulose. It will give you the runs, really bad. Thanks again. Stay tuned, God bless.
Posting for the algorithm. Love your channel. Be well ❤
Thank you so much! You're awesome! God bless!
My sister was just diagnosed. She is 60. She had that anxiety like you had; always complained of feeling bloated; always drank rum or whiskey 🤢 with pop. She was diagnosed right after New Years. Im so scared for her. I pray she has watched some of your videos. I have sent her a few. She hasn't drank for a month. She was admitted 3 weeks ago with ruptured esophageal varices. She had started throwing up blood, got jaundice and high ammonia levels and didn't know who anyone was. It was so scary! They banded the varices. She was always afraid to go to the doctor and was probably just like you. So far so good, but she is fatigued, has a scope next week. Diuretics are working. BP is excellent. She said she feels good, but I'm scared for her. I don't drink, but I am here to learn about this awful disease. Thank you for sharing you journey. I pray for you and you family and please pray for my sister. God Bless You.
How is you sister now?
Thank you for your amazing testimony, it is tremendously helpful. 🙏
You are so welcome! God bless
are you and your family just seem like the nicest people on earth. I am praying for you. Stick around your helping people❤
Hi there…your doing such a awesome job with your channel …
Hello! Thank you so much for saying that! God bless
Thank you for sharing.
Good luck in your recovery.
I am amazed at how much you were able to physically endure. It’s just amazing how much an addiction will allow us to destroy ourselves.
i'm from West Virginia glad you are doing these videos there are people that have reversed or even brought there condition state or halted so keep a positive attitude keep up the good work
Hey there! Where at in WV are you located? My wife is from Charles Town. Right there at harpers ferry. What a beautiful area! My family on my dad's side are all from VA in a small town called Broadway right there as well. I really appreciate you saying that, it means a lot. Stay tuned and God bless.
thanks for the reply Yes it is i'm from clarksburg it is south of about 45 min from morgantown also we are about a hour east of parkersburg it is another big city you may know @@liverdisease-qb6rk
I just got out of the hospital and I’m recovering from pancreatitis. That’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life!! So, my body is trying to tell me to STOP the alcoholic drinking!! I’m going to have a hard time with a low fat diet.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Hey there! Sorry you are going through this right now. I know the pain.... you are going through he'll right now. It gets better, it takes about 2 months after before you will start feeling better most of the way. Eat small meals and eat slow. I know it hard. But you need food to get better. Sugar free jello and sugar free pudding are a staple for me when I get it. I also drink protein shakes all the time, my pancreas is always upset. It's in really bad shape. I'll pray for you, I hope you feel better soon! God bless, and please keep me posted on how you're doing. I really care.
Low fat?
Thanks for sharing your story, its motivational as I find myself struggling with wine and whisky although no diagnosis yet.
I'm hoping on a speedy recovery for you.
Thank you so much! I wish you nothing but the best and hope that you can steer away from it. I really hope you can. Thank you for watching! God bless
My Dr. is usually so busy that he doesn't have or won't take the time to explain these things. Thanks so much.
Thank you! I know exactly where you're coming from. Most are so busy, it's in and out. You ask a question and they look at you like you have a horn growing out of your head. Hope you get the answers you need. Thanks for watching, God bless!
Hi there, so true Dr,s just brush u off.🙄
Hey this might sound presumptive so please forgive me but it would be incredible to hear your wife’s side of the story. To hear her side of constantly playing that game of cat and mouse with finding bottles hid everywhere, how she perceived your behavior and mood changing over the years and then dealing with the whole medical thing. Anyways I know it might not be her thing but she sounds like an incredibly strong, compassionate and courageous person who was right there during the whole time. 🙏🏻💪👍
Hello! That's a great idea. I don't know if she would. She doesn't watch these videos, she doesn't want to relive what we went through and I understand that. I will ask her, I highly doughty she will though. She wants me to make these and do my part to help. She doesn't even like talking about it much either. It's probably for tge best anyway because I might hold back on talking about some things if she watched. Stay tuned, maybe she can write a letter that I can read or something if she is not interested. God bless!
@@liverdisease-qb6rk thanks for the response. Yes absolutely that makes total sense and I definitely understandable why she might feel that way 👍💪
Great idea for a video. This is difficult to hear now because I already care about you, as a friend in my head and fellow alcoholic in recovery ❤️🩹. Take care.
Hey there again! Thank you so much for the kind words. I care for everyone here, looks like we are creating somewhat of a community. I'm really proud to have everyone commenting and taking part in this. Thanks again. I'll see you again. God bless
Thank you for sharing your story so honestly with all of us.
The only reason I recover so quickly is bc of the gym. Don’t kid yourself. It matters. Ima bit bigger at 6’2 230, and need to lose 15, however just coming out of the hospital, I’m trying to eat, and gym is outta the question until new years. Best of luck brother. I’m here if you need me. Thank you for posting your vids. I’ve watched them. Your situation mirrors mine so I can relate. But yah I never was very overweight bc booze made me not want to eat, plus I didn’t want to mess with the buzz. Stay healthy brother.my last bout I broke bones. That’s the line in the sand for me. I pray to God not to be afflicted ever again.
Thanks for sharing, your videos are so helpful. All the best for you and your family. God bless.
Thank you so much. God bless you as well!
I use to put my car in park at red lights and the same fking thing would happen at left turns, insane but it would always be when I’d come off the liquor. Never heard anyone else do that but hey, us alcoholics have so much in common. Great video brother, new subscriber here!
Thank you for this! I did the same thing. I always put it in park. Would look around the car instead of looking at the light cause I was so scared. You're not the only one who has told me this as well. There are more like us! Thank you for the comment, God bless
Its scary especially when i was driving my mind went blank for second..i forgot where i was, I was only a block away from my house..even worse i had picked up my kids from school.i looked at them..I was winging of my drinking..now im sober since dec 25,23. I wont forget. cirrhosis i have.low sodium diet off transplant list only 12.meld score..yeah I was trying to deal with past shit alone and anxiety..i worked out alot. But now i feel lik a sluggish lazy person.🙄
@kbains5352 thank you for sharing! That sure is a story. I'm really happy to hear that you quit. Did u bring your meld down? Thank you! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk
My platelets go down. Going for the endoscope(what ever its called) they put a camera down my throat to make sure I dont have any internal bleeding..I did vomit once in er and got the band to stop the bleeding. just staying positive. yeah, thanks for sharing ur video. God bless 🎅
@@twinkle533 God bless you too!
I had the same anxiety of left hand turns and driving on the freeway.
And another one! Thank u for being so honest and saying that. There ha e been so many people tell me this. We are not alone! God bless!
Happy to see you doing better now. I think alot of people can relate to this. Its a slippery slope that doesnt end well. Crazy how much alcohol is glamorized and everywhere and accepted.
I can relate to the incontinence, after taking lactulose I had to make sure I was alway near a restroom, it starts affecting many aspects of your life. You can improve if you put in the effort.
Thank you for the comment. Yes, it's not fun taking that stuff. But, it's needed. I am trying everyday, some days are harder than others. This channel has really helped me so much, just to talk about it and get it off my chest. I have tried talking to other people about this who don't ha e a problem and I can just see the glaze form over their eyes most times, they are not interested and or can't relate at all. Stay tuned, and God bless.
I used to have the exact same anxiety about left turning lanes. I felt trapped. It’s called agoraphobia- afraid of being trapped somewhere you cannot escape. Alcohol definitely heightens those anxieties!
Scott Freda is the gentleman he is talking about. He is down to earth and in your face. Also is a consultant now that shows you how to get sober and how to help your body heal. Look him up.
Thank you for this video
You're welcome! Thank you for watching! God bless!
Thank you for your knowledge and will power ❤ I am watching and listening to you. I'm wondering what my friend is going through. She doesn't say a real lot. She has said though that it has affected her mind 😢❤
I am sorry about your friend. Thank you for watching! I hope these videos help give you some perspective. God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk yes you are doing an amazing job! Proud of you 🙂❤
I now realize why my late husband said " you are asking too much" when I said, " it's the bottle or me"
I had a lot of these symptoms before I found out I was a diabetic throwing up in my sleep because I also have gastroparesis From not taking care of my sugar the right way I been diabetic for 13 years my dad passed from cirrhosis of the liver it’s a pretty painful disease to have the lactulose medication is horrible my dad decided he was done taking it and it wasn’t long after he passed he was a terrible alcoholic all of his life terrible way to go .
Hello. Thank you for the comment. I also suffer from gastroparesis as well. I have had ercps done and food from days before has still bee. In my stomach. I'm so sorry to hear about your father. Stay tuned, so much more to come, God bless.
Same as folks , if jacking in Drink ,Don't go cold turkey, i did ,not advised & can be Dangerous ,half amounts or at least have a day or 2 off, 14 years freedom ..keep strong
Thank you! God bless
Good morning. Thank you for your videos
Good morning, thank you so much. I appreciate you watching. Stay tuned, God bless.
A few things that could help. Look into Serrapeptase (eats scar tissue) Nattokinase (stops blood clots) both enzymes. ALAr with selenium, DMSO, H202 (one minute cure) & Liver Cure.
Thank you! God bless
You were thinking of Scott Frieda does alcohol shorts. He’s in recovery and, I think, he is living with cirrhosis too.
My question is how many symptoms and illnesses do you still have? Diarrhea, vomiting, ibs, gout etc.
Yeah, I think that's him. He always wears a button up shirt that's unbuttoned halfway down? I get really bad stomach aches still. That's due to my pancreas. I have to have another ercp on it January 4th. I'll talk about that in the next video. I had to cancel my hernia surgery because of it. I still get very nauseous everyday, no gout lately, I try my best not to vomit because when I do, those varicose veins rupture and I start throwing up blood, then I'm in the hospital getting blood transfusions.
Thanks.
Thank you for watching again! God bless.
Day 5 and really physically feeling it today.
Hey... I'm so sorry. But day 5 is awesome!!!! It gets better in just a couple of days! I promise! Drink lots of fluids and coffee. The coffee really helps a lot. It helps the headaches and the lethargy. Hang in there! You are doing great! Keep.me posted on how you are doing. God bless
Thank you so much and I will keep you updated@@liverdisease-qb6rk
I lift weights.
42 and grateful
Diarrhea and vomit is Diabetes. Also alcoholism. Killed my son's father via pancreatic cancer in 2011. He had that diarrhea every morning. He would randomly vomit here and there. He did not make it to 50.
Lost my 36 year old cousin to drinking a few months ago. Keep fighting.
I am trying to remember the anxiety and physical symptoms 12 days ago. I got out of the hospital and the anxiety started bad the last few days since being home. But I’m finally thinking I need to be sober not just think about not drinking too much. It’s taken a lot.
How could you have your elbow swollen up multiple inches and not see a doc, espceially if you ain't injured it my man? Like damn. I'm not shitting on you bro but i'm telling other people, do not ignore things that are very out of the ordinary... early detection of a million things saves life, limbs, organs, function. Stay aware out there! And i'm not perfect on this i've let stuff run on for way too long that was obviously a serious problem
And much love to you brother it sounds from the clips i've wat hed youve been thru terrible pain.
Especially if it's out of the ordinary and doesn't go away, then 1000% go to a doc.
Thank you for the comment. I would never go to the Dr. Back then. I was too scared of what they would tell me, so yes, i avoided that among other things. God bless
May I ask what u drank daily ma friend..... Kenny from Scotland
Hello Kenny! Absolutely! I never took a day off.... ever! I was a very bad alcholic. Thank you for watching. Thank you for the question. Please subscribe, God bless.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I think he wanted to know what you drank
I've had liver disease PBC for the past 20 years never a drinker, in stage 4 dr says I'm still treatable . It feels unfair . 😢
I'm sorry that you are dealing with that. It's not fair. Thank you for watching. God bless
I've about drowned a few times in my sleep from Server Gerd. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Hey! Thanks for watching! I have Gerd as well. Are you on pantropazole for it? I have to take it twice a day, and of course my insurance only covers one pill a day.... but the Dr's want me taking two. I just don't understand. Anyway, thanks again, stay tuned, God bless.
How can people drink so much and not think their medical problems don't come from drinking? Your wife must have been a saint. Hopefully you stay on the right track.
That's called severe addiction.
Who’s driving the car?
Choose health.
So what are the treatments you are on? I went to the doctor puking blood and all this finally a dr. Said I had alcoholic fatty liver I quit drinking and the symptoms just get worse everyday. This is going on a year now pain in the right side and severe anxiety even shaking. Random fevers.
How much and for how long would you say you drank to get to that point?
I drank my whole life. It was really bad for 10 years at least. Hard liquor. Thank you for the question. God bless
Did your stool float ? Have you ever noticed that?
Yes. Thank you
@@liverdisease-qb6rk from my understanding it’s because of excess undigested fat.
Scott Frieda I think is his name .
Was the throwing up a result of drinking or were you sober and still throwing up?
Hello. Thank you for watching. Mostly from alcohol. I have had problems with nausea ever since all this has happened though. I take Zofran daily to combat it though. Stay tuned,God bless
Too much background noise, next time you might want to stop the car when videoing
exactly! wishing u well pal
Hey, thanks for watching. Sorry about all the background noise. I don't even review my videos before posting. I went back and watched and you're right. I'll make sure I don't do that again. Stay tuned, and God bless. Thanks for letting me know. I wouldn't have known that if you hadn't told me.
Please share Commissioners Report released in Ottawa ; #nationalcitizensinquiry
Hey... not sure what you mean? Could you elaborate?
@@liverdisease-qb6rk every thing is in the link.National Citizens Inquiry. Canada
Lol the only reason I never became a full blown alcoholic was because of the dry heave in the morning… I could not have that next drink. I had to wait a few hours or until I felt better which was usually in the evening… rinse & repeat…
I completely understand that. I just pushed through it. I would gag, vomit, and drink some more to feel better. Now looking back, I can't believe what I used to do.
scott frieda is the older guy with the reenactments
I needed morphine at the hospital to deal with the pain from pancreatitis. How did you tolerate it without it????
I was lucky i STOPPED before it was too late After months sober my enzymes are already much lower and my liver isnt inflammed BUT i had fatty deposits on my liver and if i kept up man idk
This must’ve been so hard on your wife I’m sure many females would not have put up with this at all. Specially, since you were throwing up in your sleep and still drinking, that is beyond.
Yes. Most women would leave. We have been together since we were kids. She knew me before I had a problem, so she had hope I would turn it around one day. Thank you for watching, God bless.
Scott freda is the guy
I have just reached out to him to see if he would be interested in collaborating with me. I would like to do a video talking with him. We will see. God bless.
The pancreas does not like fat. I was sub acute pancreatitis for years. All good now. Mostly carnivore, lots of fat. Sugar makes me feel really ill, fruits ok.
Meat heals many things. Eggs are good too. I buy a half angus beef cow from a friend yearly and cherish every bite. Makes my kids very healthy too.
Hello there. Yes, it does not. I have to be very careful about what I eat at the moment. I just had 2 stints put into my pancreatitic duct, very very painful. I have to have those removed and 3 placed in on January 4th. Each time I have a procedure I have about a month of dealing with my pancreas being very sensitive. Thank you for the comment, stay tuned, and God bless.
Be careful when you start seeing little stars ..that happened to me just before I started having grandmal seizures.
What do you mean?
I see flashes of lights that look like stars.
Been seeing them for years.
Hello! Thank you for the advice! I haven't had that problem since I quit drinking. Stay tuned, God bless.
@@liverdisease-qb6rk God bless!
@@liverdisease-qb6rk thanks for these videos brother
My symptoms before a seizure are like physical anxiety (not like mental anxiety like a racing mind, but like physical restless anxiety).
Other people report auras which i think is like circles around sources of light.
250 at 5'9" is huge man. I'm 110. Most I know at our height are 140-160. 250? Damn i wouldn't have messed with you!
Hahaha!!!! I was fat! And I didn't really eat. It was all just booze. I am currently 143 now. So much better. I was around 110 at my sickest. Thank you for the comment. God bless

Hey there. Thanks for watching. I sure will. I have to figure put this editing thing first. I will put some pictures up though. You will be surprised. I looked like a totally different person. Stay tuned. God bless
Double edged sword with anxiety -- absolutely. LOL Yes --- for me, Left turns would make me anxious bec I was not always a confident driver and would wait too long to make the left. Didn't judge distance well. Timing. Because of my waiting for a clear chance to make the turn, I'd fear people behind me would start Honking. OMG ... Worse with people in the car with me telling me to turn -- Ha ha. What a mess I was.
Did you notice any yellow eyes ?
No... had yellow skin though. And very dark urine. Once my bilirubin levels got back to normal, it went away
Ive never heard someone say they used to eat alot of shell fish lol
Amazing ❤
Alright buddy hope Ur well 👍👍
Well i quit a few times but restarted...making my own wine...sipping all day...never drunk but drinking about 3 liters of 10 per cent wine from kits...im 71 my doc said i had to quit very high ferritin...fatty liver etc...now feeling better...not rock solid yet on quitting ...but close...your story is dramatic...how we get trapped and lie to ourselves
Yes. So true. Sorry I am just getting to your comment. I have to go find them sometimes because they don't all end up in the same place for some reason. God bless and thank you for the comment and watching!
I recognise many of the things you are talking about. I determine to quit!…
I'm so happy to hear that. Please keep me posted on how you're doing. You've got this! God bless!
How much alcohol were you drinking a day for how long? If this is question is something you are not comfortable answering I understand
Why not try Carnivore?
I will when my pancreas settles down. I have had a lot of problems and surgeries on it over the last year and meat is one of the things I have a really hard time digesting. Thank you! God bless
That one fasted blood test could have changed everything fuck, Stay healthy cheers
Sigh.... I know. I wish I would have done it. But, everything happens for a reason and now I am here. This is the way that it was supposed to happen. I truly believe that. Stay tuned, God bless.
Did this all stem from booze?
Same. I think I should drive a mini motor home around always so I have a toilet 💩😫
I don’t drink and never have though.
The Bible warns about ALCHOLISM... please Give your Heart to Jesus.... Lord have mercy !
You should see if methylene blue can do anything to save you, or maybe carnivore diet
Hello, thanks for watching. I have never looked into methylene blue. Thank you for the advise. Stay tuned and God bless.
The guys name is Scott Freda. I follow him too
I can relate with some of his videos so much that it's kind of hard to watch... brings up memories, and not good ones. Thanks for the comment and God bless.
@liverdisease-qb6rk yea me too. I used to hide lq all over the house and I'd have my first drink around 930-10 AM everyday. Towards the end I was drinking about a pint and a half to 2 pints a day of vodka. Never missed a day. 7 days a week. I got gout about 20 times and all the doc told me was watch what u eat and slow down drinking...smh...
@Jeffburns1980 man.... it's so crazy how so many of us were doing the same things. I thought I was the only one. I hate that so many others are doing or were doing the same as me, it's such a terrible disease. God bless brother, you and your family.
Off the sauce for 5 months lost 25lbs no exercise its the empty calories
That's awesome! 5 months! I bet you feel great now! And yes... nothing but empty calories! The bloating goes away, swelling in the face, redness, it makes you look so much better too. God bless
That open window is very distracting
Sorry. I didn't realize how much background noise there was until after I had posted the video. Thank you for watching! God bless!
