how long can PAWS last ?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I seem to be going through bad phase of PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome), I have not had any alcohol for 3 months, and I now my liver pain has got worse, and I seem to be suffering from all the signs of PAWS
I have read that it can take up to 2 years for these symptoms to go
I also get bad reflux at times too, as well as :
Mood swings
Anxiety
Irritability
Tiredness
Variable energy
Low enthusiasm
Variable concentration
Disturbed sleep
what has been your experience of PAWS, healing process ?
(I have my MRI scan results in next week for liver update)

PAWS is of very subjective duration, and depends on the individual and other health conditions.
Your MRI or ultrasound results will tell more. Update when you get it.

PAWS is not really a physical condition, so anything to do with your liver is not PAWS.
Your list of PAWS looks like a copy and paste from a website. People tend to suffer from PAWS for 3 - 6 months. The main problem is depression and an overrall lack of enthusiam for life, post alcohol.
If you're having reflux problems, then I suggest something like omeprazole.
