Liver enzymes

by Jesi16, Sep 17, 2009 10:44AM
I received my results today of my liver enzymes and one of the levels was 811 and the other was 751.  I have never consumed alcohol.  I had my gallbladder removed about 21 years ago.  I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, diabetes and depression.  I had a meningioma brain tumor removed ten years ago. I am 55 years old and female.  I weigh 193.
I have an appointment for Monday with a gastroenterolist but my arthritis doctor  that took the test told me to stop my pain relieving medicines.  I was on celebrex, cymbalta, daily aspirin.  I also take metformin, lisinopril, nexium, omega 3, daily vitamin, hormone replacement and vitamin D, (my D level 8 weeks ago was 18) now it is normal.  I have noticed in the last few weeks that I have a low grade headache, itching, chills and my blood sugar is running very high

I refused to take Celebrex, and this is the first time I have ever done this, and I'm 59.  My doctor recently prescribed it for pain in my shoulder, and it came with a full page (both sides) of warnings of side affects.  Even worse, should you suffer any side affects they had a toll free number for you to contact the FDA!  So, it appears to me that they aren't sure about keeping this medication on the market.  I also have done extensive research on HRT and would not take this either, nor does my doctor recommend it. My husband takes the metformin, lisinopril and nexium with no problems.  Your supplements are fine, but too much pain medicine can affect your stomach and liver, and may be the culprit here.  Good luck to you.
