As many of you know, for the past year, I've been drinking like a fish, a whole bottle of rum every day for much of the year and sometimes more. I did this because I felt depressed and stuck, unable to move, and wanted an escape. Many of you tried to help me, to which I didn't listen. However, I hit rock bottom when my liver function test was done on May 19, 2025. My ALT levels were 373, and AST was 319. Both of these are more than 6 times the acceptable levels of 50 or less. Indicating very severe liver damage. This explained why I managed to drink so much, yet not feel drunk, my liver was doing a death rattle, and I would be, soon, if I didn't stop. For the first time in a while, i felt scared to lose my life, I looked back and saw what a coward I'd been. I felt a deep sense of regret, all the people I pushed away, all the problems I avoided, and now it might be too late. I bought a bottle of rum, 1 liter. I poured out 700ml of it and drank the rest. That was 80 days ago, and I haven't had one single drop since. My doctors had given up, not even bothering to schedule an appointment as they knew my cowardly behavior would simply cancel, so I didn't have to face them. After 38 days of absolute sobriety, I messaged my doctor informing her that i took her advice to heart and have removed alcohol from my life, I wanted to come in and get bloodwork done. On July 14th, it came back. ALT levels are 64, AST is 42. My liver healed faster than I ever thought possible, crushing my foolish excuse from before that I was too far gone to heal. With this, I was able to go back on Trikafta, improving my lung function greatly. I got another liver function test done on August 13th, ALT levels are 49, AST is 25. My liver is now healthier than it was a year before I started drinking. I wasn't sure I believed in God, but I prayed for my life to be spared, and I do believe he listened. I'm not sure how I want to celebrate, but you can bet it will involve a lot of family and no alcohol

So last few weeks my body randomly overheats then doesn't, or at least I thought it was until I visited the hospital about 2 weeks ago. They confirmed that while I don't have anything serious, my symptoms (at the time also got hives) indicated I most likely had an allergic reaction, so they referred me to an allergist. Fast forward and last few days it got worse, as now I'm not getting enough sleep when before I did get enough sleep just that I woke up and couldn't fall back for awhile.

I've pinpointed it to either me being allergic to highly processed meat, intolerance to anything containing large amounts of histamine, and/or something else but histamine worsens it. I didn't book an appointment with the allergist because I wanted to do some A/B testing beforehand to not waste the allergist's time. My symptoms have started to get better today, but it got real bad yesterday on Saturday; for anyone wondering, I stopped asking old questions I posted from SimilarWorlds like a month ago, so this is a recent issue.
