Hello all!

I am 42, in great shape (ran the last 11 NYC marathons) don't smoke, perfect BP, never a day in the hospital (knock on wood) but I have been a drinker for about 20 years.

Recently, I have had minor and sporadic itching, flaky scalp, dry mouth, and mucus production while running.

I have no other symptoms, but I have convinced myself that cirrhosis is near.

I have not seen an MD yet, but stopped drinking 7 weeks ago due to pure irrational fear, the GREAT motivator.

Anyone ever have similar symptoms? Or concerns?

I also have allergies and am on allegra and two steroidal nasal sprays.

I am a good weight and eat very well with a decade long of supplement and vitamin use.

I hate being a hypochondriac. Frightening stuff. Poor thoughts.

Going to MD today for liver test. But had a glass of wine last night. Hope it doesn't affect the results? Anyone have any insight?
