my livers fucked

I was a bag of nerves a week ago due to nearly having a head on collision with some stupid bitch driving on the wrong side of the road on a blind bend (exactly the same scenario as the last time my car got totaled) and ended up drinking a whole bottle of vodka to steady my nerves. The next day I started vomiting loads of blood and ended up in hospital. I just got my blood test for liver damage through and it's not good news, the average count is 50, mines 750..

How much do you drink(besides the bottle of vodka)? How old are you? Become proactive and positive. Quit drinking any and all alcohol and any hepatoxic drugs. Once you do your enzyme count will drop. What is your doctor saying? Has he suggested a biopsy? Also I noticed tour from the UK. I believe there medical community supports the use of milk thistle(our countrys FDA ignore all herbal drugs). I would talk to him about that. Best of luck and my prayers are with you.

I'm 30 and drink about 3 or 4 cans of 5% alcohol every night to get me to sleep (I'm an insomniac) but I tend to binge drink on weekends although I never usualy touch spirits. The doctor said I have to totally cut out alcohol AND drugs (they must have found MDMA in my blood from the weekend) or else my liver will shut down.

He didn't mention anything about a biopsy. To be quite honest most of what he told me sounded like double dutch!

I've heard good things about milk thistle but isn't it used as a preventative? In my case it seems the damage has already been done!

Well I saw another doctor today regarding my readings and he made a lot more sense than the other guy. He say's it's a warning more than anything, I don't require a biopsy and that it's totally reversable. He said if I totally cut out the alcohol & drugs my liver would repair itself and I'd be back to normal within 6 months.
Phew, thought I was a gonner there for a while!
