What should I do?; I’m 65 and six years ago I was diagnosed with psoriasis due to drinking too much alcohol and being overweight. I stopped drinking, lost weight and this year my doctor said my liver had improved. I’m sharing this so listeners can benefit from my story.; I’ve had kidney failure, am on dialysis and hope to have a transplant. When I was evaluated, I said I had a glass of wine a day and was disqualified. What do you think?
