The human body does some dumb shit like blisters. Oh, my hands are getting too tough from adaptation to abrasion? Time to completely ruin all those good callouses

That's why I chose cirrhosis instead

If your liver is fatty just trim it off with a knife, easy.

This shit almost killed me back in the day. It isn't even remotely fun. Like, they found it at the point where I was on the verge of cirrhosis.

Yeah, not gonna pay any more money for doctors visits after that last bill, but I got a fatty liver. Not sure entirely the reason, but the popular guess is when my gallbladder was filled with stones and infection, my liver had to pick up the burden. It left me turning yellow, but since I tan rather olive, I really didn't take notice until a stabbing pain was running through me.

I've heard the liver grows back if you cut 90% of it off. So basically just dumpster dive a scalpel from your local hospital, do a bit of snip snip and it'll regrow brand new.

docters hate this trick

Fatty liver disease is big and clever

i'm in a similar boat, got diagnosed with fatty liver a few months back after being a functional alcoholic for years. my blood pressure was also through the roof at the time which prompted the doc to run a bunch of blood tests, both of the liver enzyme tests were "markedly elevated" but thankfully all of the tests for actual liver functioning were well within normal range. i abstained completely for 6 weeks and they both went way down again to near normal and my BP went back to normal as well AND i lost 8 pounds. then she told me i just need to lose weight and eat healthier, in addition to watching my booze intake. i also got hella bills for all the blood tests/ultrasound they ran that makes me not want to go back for a bunch of follow-up appts to check my progress like she was pushing for lol

i've started exercising regularly since the new year but i haven't been great about the alcohol, i fell off the wagon again shortly after that last appointment. i wanted to go totally sober again for the new year but i went through a 12-pack of seltzers this weekend after a very stressful week. on the positive side, i've really pinpointed what my triggers/reasons for drinking are (mostly anxiety spiraling due to... gestures around vaguely everything about the world and the fact that i don't feel like i have a future) and for the most part i didn't like how the booze made me feel this weekend. its just not worth it when it fucks with my body so hard. anyway if i keep rambling i'd have to make this its own post but i needed to get this shit off my chest. main takeaway: thank god we don't have cirrhosis

Just drink the sugar free fizzy drinks/soda. It's cheaper and healthier, and you won't notice the taste difference after a week. Hell, you can still get the caffeine if you want.
