Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease, most commonly caused by alcoholism and hepatitis C. Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis and is associated with a poor quality of life, increased risk of infections, and a poor long term outcome. Liver damage from cirrhosis cannot be reversed, but treatment can stop or delay further progression and...
I guess I understand how bad addiction can really be. Without going to much elaborate background detail, lets say I am 46 and have been a pretty heavy beer drinker for 25 years. Almost 10 of them was drinking with pain killers loaded with acetaminophen. Well I quit drinking and taking pills just over two years ago. I also quit Xanax at the same time. The Xanax withdrawal was the worst experience of my life.
Fast forward to now. About two months ago I tried taking muscle relaxers, Baclofen. They really were not effective. I was just trying to through something at my pains. They were not even specific to the pain that I am trying to treat. I really do not want to ingest anymore acetaminophen.
Well I am feeling a lot like I did when I quit the Xanax. There is a listr of withdrawal symptoms that this medication carries and I am feleing the mental aspects,. I HOPE! I do know that I had caused a great deal of liver damage over the years so have been very mindful of what I put in my body the last two years. I do not feel tired nor fatigued, but this indescribable deep darkness. The anxiety manifests itself into a horrible deep darkness as I think I may have feeling signs of H.E.
During the holidays I had a few beers and when I wake up I feel horrible. Not a hang over, I had three beers and those were earlier in the day. But just a whole new kind of yucky toxic feeling. I went a whole 18 months without any actually, then all of a sudden I thought I was brand new and could have a few beers. The last few nights I have been sorting all this out which creates its own daerkness.
Keep in mind I have felt a lot of upper right quadrant jabs and other sensations over the last few years.
I guess the question is, are there any sequences of these symptoms?
Does H.E. proceed being tired or fatiqued?
I do random math equations in my head to see how sharp I am and I do pretty good. Recall all the addressed I have lived in over the years
I am watching my salt and protein intakes.
Anyhow Happy New year!

I used to drink. I was ordered xanax. I stopped. Went thru a horrible withdrawal because I stopped without consulting my doctor! It was bad, for months.
Later, I stopped drinking. Panic anxiety & depression began to decrease. Indigestion disappeared.
Then I found out I have liver disease. So glad I stopped drinking before that! I would never drink again.
Fatigue is one of those chronic, vague symptoms that go with many diseases and often no one can find a cause for it. Usually people have liver disease and years of fatigue long before they have H.E. HE is more of a late end stage thing.
The muscle loss is also a common withdrawal aspect. I lost muscle immediately after my cold turkey off Xanax. pressure just below my sternum, but that too is a common complaint from the stress and anxiety after discontinuation of benzos.
Have a great appetite, no fatigue, never tired. I did not sleep for almost two months after the Xanax, then I strted taking these muscle relaXERS which operate on the body very similar to benzos. So I agitated my nervous system quite a bit. So I am back to being an insomniac, with a little sleep, but the dreams make it so unenjoyable that I would rather just stay up.
Go figure. You play you pay!!
