elevevated liver enzymes

Elevated liver enzymes are a side effect of this drug in many people. I am also on a very high dosage. My doctor told me not to use Tylenol or alcohol. Other than that, there is not much I can do. He does not want me taking supplements to lower them. Whenever they go too high, I just need to skip my treatment for that week. Hopefully, that will do the trick.

I hope skipping one treatment gets those liver enzimes in check! You are in my prayers and I am so glad there is no more pain!
