Alcohol related?!
Question:
Alcohol related?
As sad as this sounds it's true, my mother is a bad alcoholic and has been for years. She has turned into a hypocondriac and hasn't left the house close to 2 years. She isn't healthy and she is complaining that she has bruises everywhere, besides the obvious being she may be bumping into things does anyone else know if this is a medical condition?? Thanks
Answers:
It means that her liver is starting not to function well. Liver failure. She needs to go to the doctor and get her blood taken, a liver function test. She needs vitamins, and hydration, and to be somewhere safe where she can't drink. They'll give her medicine to calm her. Good luck. I know how hard alcoholism is. Get her to the doc quick. This link tells you a little bit about it. By the way, she may not have cirrhosis, yet, but bruising easily and then taking forever for the bruises to heal is the starting of cirrhosis.
