Scared

Scared

I was a heavy drinker for about 7 years (12 pack of beer everyday or a little more).  I am scared I have liver damage.  I have been to the Dr and had to 2 liver function test within 6 months.  I had a few relapses with drinking but have managed to stay away from the beer.  My test came back normal both times but I am still afraid.  My last test was in November and I have drank a few times since then.  I just don't feel like I used to.  How accurate are the test?  Most people think I'm fine but I feel a bit off still.  I have no insurance but was recently approved for the V.A. because I'm a vet.

Has the doctor recommended that you do some liver cleasing?  Or to take milk thistle?  If not you may want to talk to him about that, I am not sure you can do it, so you need to check with the doctor first.
