High Liver Enzymes due to Antibiotics

Hi guys, I have been on treatment with antibiotics non stop since 4 years ago. In general Im 90%, which means I feel good most of the time... my symptoms are very very weak, almost non existant. I have a major flare once a year...
This time I did a regular blood work and my liver enzymes came back a bit high
LDH 656 U/L (range: 208 - 378)
AST 110 U/L (range: up to 34)
ALT 173 U/L (range 10-49)
Did anyone ever have this situation? what did your doc made you do? Im thinking about stopping the AGTB for a few days to give my liver a break.
Regards

Why 4 years of non-stop antibiotics?

Gaucho,  are you still seeing the same doc?  Four years and still ill?  I would see another MD -- it sounds like the current treatment may not be effective against whatever it is you have.  What is worse:  seeing a new doc for a second opinion, or carrying on indefinitely with the current treatment?

Ummmm .... have you considered that perhaps the antibiotics you are taking are not appropriate or sufficient for the infection(s) that you have, and that is why you continue to relapse?  Perhaps you have one or more infections that are not susceptible to the treatments you are taking.

Sending you all good wishes --

because Im not symptom free. When Im off antibiotics I got a relapse of symptoms. Some people have to be on them for a lifetime, some people a few years, some others a few months. I have seen 2 LLMD and Im seeing one more next month that deals with conventional medicine plus natural alternatives, hope to be off ATB  and choose the natural way.
