This liver thing..only reason I found out was I went to a dermatologist for spots, he said he givd me a tablet but I had to have bloods first,, then it came back hi I think cause it was a while ago and somrthing bout LDLs, I dont really understand,, I didnt persue it as my doc said nothing to worry about after second scan, and that I could of been born with it..I also thought it could be that I have been taking co codamol 30/500, for many many years.It is just another worry isnt it? Havnt really thought again till read something on here..But maybe we are all right.
You know on my last blood work it came out high and I had to cut back on methotraxate and gabapentin. I need another blood test to know if this solve my high liver issue.
That is interesting people has quite a while ago my liver showed something on it, went back 3months later for amother scan said nothing to worry about but they should tell you more.
I'm intrested in what others say too as my a.l.t liver enzymes are high too ment to between 7-52 mine was 120 had another dropped to 63 but having a scan next week to find out more my first result was done before I was diagnosed with fibromylagia and wasn't on any pain relief my cholesterol was high too so on statins I'm a personal trainer and eat quite healthy and was active untill flare ups getting to much and frequent Dr said it cud be a link to fibro but that was it
Hi Janette I think enzymes also--especially with all the meds/ I am suppose to go see a cardiologist. It is scary how fast things can happen with this..I am guessing my sight is suffering a lot=along with sensitivity to light- heat- noise and touch. So many dr apps.
