Hi i have drank heavy for a few years and had some signs that my nerves were being affected but being an alcoholic that wasn't enough for me to stop. then i stopped for almost 7 years and then relapsed. I drank heavy for more than a year then noticed significant weakness in my hands and arms so i stopped. Then a quick progression of muscle wasting and slow weakness came along. Then a year after that i relapsed with two drinks then that caused my instant autonomic dysfunction. Heart rate is all over the place especially under any stress or if i stand up. all of my muscles all over my body have become soft and have been wasting at a fast rate. i'm getting weaker and not looking too good. Has anyone or know anyone who has a similar story and can share how they coped or perhaps any solutions to help with slowing the progression? Thank you.
