697 days! Not even a sip. I was in the same boat as icehouse, .34 BAC when I went to the hospital. Pancreatitis with complications from alcohol withdrawal. 15 days in the hospital and 7 of those in ICU. It's amazing how you can build a tolerance. I have had an EMG and NCV as well. It's not that bad if you haven't had it and need it. I am on 450mg of Lyrica without it I can't walk very far. I also want to comment about "the itch". I have had it and it does feel like it's inside. It was on the bottom of my foot. I was driving and had to pull over. It's happened a few times. I have also started taking fish oil and I am getting ready to order some Benfotiamine. I love to see the posts of how people get better. Hope. It keeps you going!
