I have not been diagnosed but its simple math. A heavy beer drinker for a good fifteen years then eight years of acetaminophen and beer on top of that. I was taking pain killers for too long and drank on top of it. I do have several typical symptoms. In December of 2012 I quit the drinking and cold turkey on pills. I was also taking Xanax to sleep for several years as well. The numerous withdrawal symptoms were the same as cirrhosis symptoms. I had twitching eyelids, blurry vision, eye pain, a lot of head aches, dark circles under eyes, yellow light stools, almost immediate muscle loss, insomnia for over two months, urinating 50 times daily literally,pressure under my sternum, crushing fatigue, etc. a lot of those symptoms had gone away. My digestion has been back to normal color although I have clear urine.

So I do realize that I have done some significant damage. I have noticed a tinting of my skin. Not a yellowing, but a almost orangey rust color. I tan real quick. I do not lay out in the sun, but the exposure shows up quick. I had a scare last Sunday. My mental state seemed a little kooky. My sense of smell was heightened I seemed to be a bit confused or just not as sharp as normal. And although my sleeping pattern has not returned to normal post withdrawal from the pills I am now waking every hour and a half. I take a leak and sleep another hour or so, repeat, on and on. Also I have a very bad sinus infection. My sinuses seem really bad. Even if I eat sometimes I have a sinus issue.

Forgive my haphazard introduction. I do not have a doctor at this time nor insurance. But I do have an appetite. I may add that since I stopped my debauchery I did a complete 180 on the diet. Cut out the fats, sodium, cholesterol. I read some tips on this site earlier in 2013 about what to and not to eat. My last bloodwork was ok, but we know that is no measure of damage. My platelets were at a 141 just a week after my cold turkey, up to 264 a month later down to 200 a few months later. Bile ok that was over a year ago.
