Have a Great Day as well!  I hope you are having sunshine.  It has been cloudy and snowy here for about 6 days.  They say the clouds should last another 6-7 days.  Man, I have to get out of this state.  Miserable!!!!

Hey there,  The book I read and now I use it all the time for reference is The Healthy Liver and Bowel Book by: Sandra Cabot.  Great resource book. A lot of stuff she says in the book I have taken in and over the last year I've heard other Dr's really say the same thing.  So I definitely think she is on to something.  The only thing I am taking is Calcium and Vitamin D as well.  I take a calcium pill w/vitamin d in it.  Is that what you do or do you take a separate vitamin d pill?  How are you feeling today? Is the nausea going away?  I hope you are feeling better.  And I'm sure by mid march your tests will be great.  Take Care!

Like I've said before I love this forum and I thing it is great that we have each other.
My next blood tests aren't until mid March. I wish you lots of luck with your next labs.
I haven't heard anything about taking milk thistle, I will have to google it. How ever I am taking calcium and vitamin D tablets. I will ask my liver Dr. about this. What book are you reading, can you tell me the name and author, maybe I can find it here and if not I can get my Dad to bring it from Canada when he come to visit in March.
Take care ladies.

Sara, you are a great testimony to us all.  You definitely are a fighter of this disease.  You have mentioned the jumping on the trampoline thing before.  I remember it stood out because I didn't know how you did it.  I can't even jump straight up and down on my kids big trampoline let alone somersalts.  Even jumping makes me sick...Cut yourself some slack w/that.  That is crazy...We will Pray that it definitely is not your liver acting up again.  Has anyone tried taking milk thistle?  I have heard from a couple of people that it is a great herb for liver function.  My Liver Dr. didn't want me taking it,but I think I am going to start it.  All my other Dr's and all the reading I've done on it, say it is great.  Anyone have information about it????  That may help you as well Sara.  My regular Dr. said to take 200 mg/day.  My liver book I am reading as well says 200 mg/day is vital for anyone w/liver problems...
When are your next liver tests Sara?  Mine are actually a week from Wed.  They are Feb 13th...Wish me luck!

Well good luck to the both of you with all this testing for lupus. My doctor has never mentioned it. Maybe I should also ask about it. I get some joint pain but nothing that last long or maybe I should just leave it all these diseases are driving me crazy.
Well you guys let me know what's going on with all this.
Well I haven't been feeling all that great the last couple of days always feeling like I'm about to throw up.
I spoke to my liver DR. and he hopes it not my liver acting up again. I told him I could still handle it so I prefer to wait for my next blood tests.
It was pretty hard working out last night. I'm not sure if I mentioned this but I also jump on a trampoline a big one as part of my work out so last night after every somersalt
I almost threw up, but I am determined not to let this disease win.
Take care ladies.
