I know that this is easier to say than do, but there is no point freaking out about something you can't change. The results are going to be what they are regardless.
On the good side that doctor has not called in "life flight"

I used to routinely knock back a bottle of Vodka a night. The following morning I would have a dull ache in my lower right abdomen. I was convinced that it was some sort of terminal liver disease, so I avoided the doctor. Every morning I would swear off drinking and every evening down another bottle for medicinal purposes
When I finally fessed up and got checked out, they found some hardening of the liver (no surprise) and the enzymes were totally out of whack, plus I was borderline diabetic.Cut to the end of the story all of these problems solved themselves over time once I stopped drinking. I obviously have some genetic blessings

The doctor told me that the hardness in the liver was in the lap of the gods. It could get better, worse or stay as it is. But if by chance it did get worse the solution would be some sort of transplant... and obviously I would not score very high on the waiting list if I continued my self abuse. What I took from this was that the doctor was not prepared to do much more unless I made a change.

Thanks Fuzz, I know its done and Ill have to work through it.
And I was doing the same think about going to see the doctor, I was having some discomfort as well and would self-medicate. Not the smartest thing to do I know. I have an ultrasound scheduled to check the damage to liver and kidneys and go from there.

You are doing fine. In a way freaking out without drinking is a good thing, though not very comfortable, and being scared is understandable. Playing out the hand dealt without booze is key, and you deserve a lot of credit in getting through this anxious time alcohol free. On kinda the bright side at least you know why you are freaking out and are frightened.

I still have freak out sessions and sometimes I get frightened and don't fully know why. I got sober and that is all I want.

When I was drinking heavily, I was told I had elevated liver enzymes. Of course, I was alarmed and as about to 'fess up and the nurse practitioner said it was probably "just some fatty liver disease due to the medications I was taking." That was enough of an excuse for me to continue. I was also having pain in my upper right abdomen, especially whenever I bent over, like to put on shoes.

I had labs back in March and everything looked good. My triglycerides, which had been sky-high for years, were within normal levels and all of my liver enzymes were within normal levels. No more stomach pain of any kind.

My point is, that the liver seems to be a pretty forgiving organ, so hopefully any damage isn't permanent.

Hang in there!

Thanks Clover, Im having some tenderness right now, not sharp but I do notice it is there. Still have not heard from Drs office so not sure how elevated my enzymes are.
Nice to know yours returned to normal, gives me hope mine will return as well.

Update.
ALT was 57 with a normal range of 55 or lower
AST was 99 with a normal range of under 34.

Last time my stats were ATL of 101 and AST of 73 so values are coming down but with no more alcohol my numbers should improve in 4-6 weeks.
I did have small traces of blood in urine so Im going to see a urologist and a GI doc to go over liver issues with me.
I feel much more hopeful I can beat this.

I had three times the normal enzyme number. When I got sober my body healed itself. Alcohol is poison to me. I pray for you to find a room and start to heal. The thing is the alcohol cessation was just the beginning. I had to learn to cope. I still teeter on the verge of insanity-sanity. A meeting each day, even after a couple of years helps me sooo much.

Ive had signs that my drinking was out of control for a long time, some stronger than others. What we do with those signs once we see them is what counts. It looks like you are on the right road now, I know for me it took a lot of scares to just confess I needed help. Stay strong

There ya go Topeka!!!

Platelet count is low due to drinking and it would escalate 1 t I 2 weeks after you stop..blood in urine I knew someone that had that and nothing more than gallstone's .breathe...elevated liver drinking... If you stop...everything normalizes

Thanks guy's! nice to hear stories of hope and healing.

Drink alot of water if there is blood in pee. Last time I had that problem, I had kidney stones but it can also mean a UTI as well.

If you are a heavy person, that could also explain the elevated liver enzymes. My ex had that and was told she had fatty liver disease which comes before sirosis She was not a drinker and she was told to lose weight which she did and that made her enzymes normal. Her dad died of non alcoholic sirosis from fatty liver disease and he never drank a day in his life.

Just focus on the present and try not to worry about the "what ifs" or you're gonna drive yourself nuts! You know....95% of the things we worry about never happen and the other 5% we can't do anything about!

God Bless!
