Been a while since ive been here and forgotten how to navigate my way around.
I never actually stopped drinking but did manage to drink less often and did lose a bit of weight as i started walking more and even joined a gym.
However when i did/do drink i still drank to oblivion. But now its seems i have developed Peripheral neuropathy in feet and hands. The pain is pretty much constant but notably worse at night. Pain killers dont work and doctor has suggested i try some low dose anti depressents but i have had bad experiences with these types of medications in the past so refuse to take them. Looks like a long road ahead but i must stop drinking from today onwards.
I’m sorry you are experiencing this painful condition. I do hope you can find some comfort in knowing that you are not alone and there is support here. So please do use it as one of your tools to get and remain sober. TS has made a huge difference for me. Wishing you strength and healing
Starting to come to terms with the fact that i have to learn to live with chronic pain. Its relentless and most of my energy is trying to figure out how ive developed this pain. I dont belive Alcohol is the cause my B vitamin levels are normal my liver is healthy even though ive abused drink for the best part of 25 years! All tests have come back normal so it seems i must except it. I can’t help but feel im being punished by a higher power for taking life for granted and wasting away so many years. But God i hear you and im sorry please forgive me
