Re: liver function tests
hi Ian
paul went for more tests yesterday and waiting for the results, he hardly drinks thats why they think it is the tablets, he can go a couple of weeks without any alcohol, then it is only the odd pint of guiness.
glad you are all sorted
with regards

Re: liver function tests
Hi everyone
i was quite a heavy drinker, i used to drink 11 cans of lager a day and not eating anything, and i became very sick, i had jaundice and severe weakness and vomiting bile and, this went on for 2 weeks till i decided to go to the doctors, so he decided to send me for emergency blood tests, the next morning i got a phone call saying i had very high abnormalities in the liver and that he is sending a emergency ambulance. In hospital i was first told to stop drinking straight away which i did and never looked back. the only treatment i had in hospital was vitamin c drips and vitamin b and thiamine tablets and in 7 days with the drinking stopped my blood tests were stable and i was allowed home, but i still have to go for more tests for hepatitis and autoimmune. i got out of hospital 2 weeks ago and i am now eating well and have stopped the drinking all together.

Re: liver function tests
hi gaynor
yeah, i just have to wait for some paperwork to come back and then the ITA can be sent off, i am hoping before the end of october but NZQA take an age, even though i have rang them to see how long it is going to be. Its just nice as well knowing that paul is fit and well,
