If you ever have to get your own insurance they'll see a history of "alcoholism" or at the very least "problem drinking" on your files and flag you. (sources are docs in family)
Almost happened to me at school fucking health center when I said I drink 3-4 times a week. I then clarified and said 1-2 drinks 3-4 times a week and the fucking dipshit PA wrote down "problem drinking." Had to call up director of health center and go ballistic on her to get it removed. |

Date: August 8th, 2012 11:31 PM Author: awkward preventive strike Horrible pain in upper abdomen, mine is usually under the left ribcage, come to find out because i created a cyst there, puking, diarrhea, fever. It eventually makes your hole middle feel like it's on fire, about to explode, etc. It's one of the most painful things you can ever have according to every doc. I've had it 7 times or so. You also puke constantly and often have to get your stomach pumped. Your pancreas has to rest for 3-4 days while you sit in the hospital and aren't allowed to eat or drink. It usually turns chronic which is a life of hell if you keep drinking. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2018482&forum_id=2#21293430) |

I woke up 2 days later having a tube in my throat pumping brown shit out. I woke up 2 days after that and ripped the IV out and tried to walk out and collapsed puking.

Date: August 8th, 2012 11:41 PM Author: awkward preventive strike it is man. Not that i reccomend it but try some opiates, it was simialar enough to booze buzz that it kept me straight. Although I will admit to starting off with pills and then mixing in 20 beers or so, i realized i was not going to wake up with 120 mg of oxy and all that booze in me after awhile. The pills killed any pancreas pain and kept me sober for the first 5 months.
Did you get your pancreatic levels read? Amalyse/Lipase if i recall? If you have insurance ask for a ct just to look for shit. That's how they found my cyst. |
|
Date: August 8th, 2012 11:48 PM Author: Electric Athletic Conference Location my current doctor is an asshole, and doesn't give a shit about his patients. i did not get my levels read. i'm going to do my best to remain sober while i find a new doctor, and then i'm hoping they will properly test everything. from what i've read, i shouldn't have any problems that i can't recover from, but who knows. i'll ask about the CT and testing my pancreatic levels, particularly if i have any pain between now and then.
opiates are great, i just don't have a way to get any. |
|
Date: August 8th, 2012 11:57 PM Author: awkward preventive strike Plenty of ways to get opiates legally, just fake injuries and shit, or complain about internal pain. Or you can buy them from people. that's pretty expensive. Also, a lot of people with migraines get them. Do a search for docs in your area that are known to prescribe, you can find a lot online if you look in the right place, especially if you are in a big city. Switch doctors, and when you see your new one, TELL HIM what you fucking want as far as tests done, you'll pay for them, wTF does he care. But seriously, get a new doc quick and get this done. If it hurts really fucking bad go to the ER, I recall you having a good job so your insurance will cover most of it. There they will check your levels and give you a CT. Best of luck brother, your a nice guy, don't want to see you get hurt. |

3-5 drinks on 2-3 weeknights, minimum. go through long periods of drinking more during the week when i'm pissed off at work or otherwise stressed.
weekends, 10+ minimum spread throughout the day and evening, or if i go out drinking, 20+ for the night. usually keep those down to one night a weekend, but there are always exceptions.
don't work out as much as i should, but no beer gut and lowish (16-17%) body fat. 6'1"/190 not in great shape anymore due to laziness, but i'm plenty active and don't have any health effects that i can tell. full blood panel last year showed slightly elevated bad cholesterol - that's partially genetic but the drinking certainly aggravates it, and i also smoke 10-12 cigs a week. everything else was fine. blood pressure is perfect, no other signs of disease.
i keep waiting to get pwned because i drank much, much harder all through undergrad and law school and have been drinking heavily since i was 16, but so far so good. my hangovers are much, much worse these days, but that's about it. |
