Hi all
I basically drank a shedload of beer and wine on Tuesday night and have felt like crap for past 2 days... I'm not sure if it was fully alcohol withdrawals as I drank a lot over the weekend really.
Anyway, I didn't really eat much during those days and have forced myself to eat a meal today. My anxiety is sky high as I'm worried I'm going to have a seizure as part of the alcohol withdrawal (if thats what it is), as you can have seizures or the DT's up to 90 hours after your last drink.
Anyway I'm feeling really anxious that these shaky legs and hand cramps aren't gonna go away. I'm scared that it's Wernicke Korsakof syndrome and the shaking is muscle ataxia (which is a symtom of alcohol abuse) or the beginnings of a seizure.
Could it also be a result of not having eaten a lot the last few days or vitamin deficiency caused by this? I've been taking regular thiamine tablets, but just worried this time I've messed myself up totally. My health anxiety has been so high lately and the drinking has increased as a result (and vice versa).
Please help me, it won't stop. My bf says don't be so silly but it's not helping...
I'm 32 female. Thanks in advance.
