Well after 35 years of drinking and the effects it was having on me, 5 months ago with the support of my girlfriend quit. I did a at home detox, have lost 40lbs and am on fire like I was when I was 35. Well, a couple weeks ago I fainted at party, looked at my women and said I feel like I don't have control of my body. Next thing I know I have people looking down at me and calling my name. I was stubborn and blew it off but was still getting dizzy from time to time. This last Thursday I decided (with some persuasion) to go into the hospital for testing, and they found a blood clot in my left leg. Alcohol is a blood thinner so that may be the reason I never had this issue before. Moral of the story don't be stubborn get checked out.

Stubborn usually doesn’t help much. Happy you got checked out.

Hope all is well! Getting checked isnt a bad thing. I found out I had Prostate cancer from a routine blood test my wife had me do. We caught it soon enough that it didn’t get me.
