After my last post,

(And because im an alcoholic, some people like to take a free kick....carry on!!)

 

But I'm not well, and everything gets put down to drink.

 

Ive had pain in my right side for weeks (Apparentlty nothing wrong)

Ive got blood blisters all over my body inclooding under my nails.

My veins are popping out of my legs, looks like im wearinfg a pair of cords!!!

A&E just send me home saying its down to my alcohol use.

Got an appointment with local alcohol/drug serveces onn the 20th of this month.

 

 

Ive had friends in the past that have ended up dying because Medics have put everything down to theire addiction and not looking behind that.

Not many do nowadays mate.

I'll leave this thread now. Can see where its going.

Thanks for replies...

Yes, where I live doctors closed their books within a 2 hundred kilometre range.

Haven't seen a doctor for at least 8 years.

Self medication seems to be my only option 😇
