Hi all,
I hope you can help me. I have been a social drinker for 25 years. However, I developed depression and anxiety about a year ago. I began drinking heavily this September and especially in October when I regularly drank heavily. In particular, on 2 separate occasions I drank a bottle of brandy, a bottle of gin and 2 bottles of red wine each time. Since shortly after the second binge, I have been suffering from burning and numbness in all 4 limbs, strange sensations when walking, blurred vision, some difficulty articulating speech, and a deterioration in my handwriting. I was hospitalised for 5 days last week, and all the reflex tests and both a CT scan and MRI scan were normal. Could one month of very heavy drinking, in particular the 2 binges, have caused permanent nerve damage - in spite of all the tests being normal? I look forward to hearing your views. Thank you. G. |
