GARYC24 3 #1 July 30, 2003 Did you know that if you drink alot..or use to drink alot And then you get a physical,That test results can show signs of high levels of liver counts (forget the med. term) And that can show hepatitis A,B, oR C? Then you can never donate blood and better stop drinking! Well, I DO ! GET A CHECK-UP ! their sorta like gear checks! But not that often! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #2 July 30, 2003 AND the liver is also one of the more recuperative organs in the body. So as long as you haven't already irreversably screwed your liver, good behavior and clean living can help it bounce back. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

lawrocket 3 #5 July 30, 2003 Oh, yeah. Try getting tanked up and then donating blood. Your liver panels would be high. For most physicals, they want you to eat or drink nothing for 12 hours beforehand. This is so that your body presents a good picture of itself. If you used to drink a lot and you have high liver panels, um, you've got some problems. I agree with you, though. GET A CHECKUP! My wife is hotter than your wife.

Shotgun 1 #6 July 30, 2003 Yep, and heavy drinking also makes your brain physically shrink! (I finally figured out what that rattling noise inside my head is! ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #7 July 30, 2003 Ah, that's good to know! "The other morning I woke up, and my liver was layin' next to me cryin'..." "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #8 July 30, 2003 That's what a hangover really is... your dehydrated brain is pulling @ the lining that holds it to your skull as it shrinks. The stretching of the lining hurts like a mofo... i can't donate blood - my blood pressure's too low. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

GARYC24 3 #9 July 30, 2003 QuoteAND the liver is also one of the more recuperative organs in the body That's a good thing. Basically I'm a whiskey/scotch drinker.. 3 yrs ago when I was 40 I had the same lab result involving liver panels test stuff. So, I now at 43 (w/insurance) I got a check-up and I'm not in bad shape..May still live to 100 yr! I've got too many friends with liver problems, already been to a funeral for a friend (35yr old) So, I want to keep better track of my health! Glad I found out, been inspired to just quit drinking. Oh, and those exercise pills, and anyting else that says "do not take if liver problems..." I won't be taking them.

It's supposed to help detoxify your liver. I guess it did me okay 'cuz I just passed my physical with flying colors.
