I have been drinking daily for the past 30 years. I am a female, 59 years old. What signs are there to determine the impact this has had on my body? I have physical aches, pain all over my body, and my stomach feels like an inferno 24/7. I did have an ulcer, blood in my black stool, and seizures as witnessed by my husband. He says that my eyes roll, I shake and scream, and yell and have radical rapid breathing. I only remember a little bit of what happened. Also, my temperature on 5/20/2019 was 99.9 at mid-day, and 99.1 at 10:00 am, and today 5/21/2019 it was 97.1. I am completely terrified and scared during these episodes, which last about 20 minutes. Afterward, I have anxiety/panic attacks, and fear being outside and seeing neighbors. I feel guilty, and feel like everyone I see knows what happened. I try to avoid any social contact. I only want to be with my husband, and feel so sorry he had to witness these attacks (4 in the last 2 years). I can see the fear in his teary eyes which is very painful for both of us in different ways. It also hurt when I read an article at a website about alcoholism, saying how it affects things such as hair loss, rashes, skin irritation, and other problems.
I was born and raised in Kaimuki, Hawaii and went to Kaimuki High School. I was married to my childhood friend for 24 years, divorced for 7 years, and we are back together again, but not remarried. Together we raised 3 sons (2 are mine from previous relations, oldest is 40 and my youngest is 34). His 1 son is also the same age 34. It was like raising twins. The oldest is engaged and they have 2 girls; one is 4, and the younger is 1.5 years of age. The youngest is in the Air Force and will retire at 40, in 5 years. He is legally married with 3 children, ages from oldest to youngest: Daughter 10, Daughter 8, and Son 4.
I have tried my best to explain my condition so that I can help anyone reading this. I appreciate any feedback. Mahalo in advance for all answers as well as other information you provide. I know there are many more items I failed to mention. Please send me any information that would be of help.
I THINK I AM GOING TO DIE SOON.
Aloha, Colleen

Can you explain what Alcoholic Dementia is, and if it can be treated?
