My dad has always had a drink problem, but the last 5 plus years it’s gotten extremely bad, 3/4 bottles of wine a day, he’s only 66. We managed to get him to the drs two weeks ago as he looks awful and slightly yellow. The GP did bloods and said to him he has the same blood results as someone with 1/8 of a liver left. He says he wants to stop and the GP said it has to be cold turkey and started him on setraline also, it’s been almost 2 weeks and he’s coping ok, sleeping lots, being sick etc. yesterday he was given diazepam to help. But he’s really not eating (I’m not surprised) but the amount of weight he’s lost so fast is extreme and his eyes are so sunken in his head he looks “terminal” we are doing everything we can to love and support him but I’m terrified it’s too late and the reason he looks so poorly is because internally something worse is happening.
