Brief Answer:
Stopping alcohol as soon as possible will resolve your actual problems..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
1. Swelling under right eye and having dark circles under your eyes is indicative for possible suffering of body tissue due to chronic consumption of alcohol.
They are signs of alcohol intoxication. I highly recommend to:
- stop using alcohol
- discuss with addiction specialist to help you stop using alcohol
- run kidney/liver function test
- urine analysis to evaluate for protein level
2. You are not reporting any symptom specific for lymphoma (e.g. lymph-adenopathy; high fever; sweating). So, less likely it is a case for lymphoma.
3. If you stop drinking alcohol now, it will take 6 months to up to 1 year after stopping for the liver to recover from alcoholic poisoning.
[Wednesday, December 10, 2014 6:55 PM] XXXXXXX Greca Eagle: 4. Livatone plus is a hepato-protector drug used usually when fatty liver is present. To my opinion, the real culprit for all your liver and other health problems is related to alcohol use.
You should stop alcohol immediately, so, everything will be settled after stopping alcohol.
5. You can upload the test reports you have to evaluate your actual status of your liver. If blood tests and abdominal ultrasound are fine, then, should consider yourself fortunate of not having liver problems so far. It is also indicating that the changes you will make would have a positive effect within a short period of time.
Hope it answered to your queries!
