High Liver Count

[tayda]

So I went to the docs for my follow up today, and she's having me go back in to get lab work done [img]smileys/smilies_10.gif[/img].. I guess the night I went into the hospital and they did my blood work, it turned out that some numbers were "off" or "high".. she didn't really seem concerned, and I didn't ask her about it.. but now I'm kind of scared, especially after recent events.

I'm sure you'll be fine...if it was that bad then they would have kept you in the hospital...also if it was that bad your doctor would have told you so. At least that's what MY Doctors do. My doctor said something about my "GOOD" Cholesterol being too low but he didn't seem to think that it was going to KILL me or anything. I'll bet you're going to be just fine!

Are you on anti depressants or something? Since many of these drugs are filtered through the liver they can cause your blood levels to change. I think this can potentially lead to liver damage, though. (if you are on meds)


I was on a couple of medications that made my pancreas show distress in my blood levels and my thyroid as well. I am now off of the meds and my blood levels are great.

Yeah, the night that I was in the hospital, they gave me a neb treatment and 2 ativan.. then a little while later they did the blood work. I'm thinking that maybe the doc in the ER didn't notice b/c they were still within their normal limits, but perhaps my primary picked up on it b/c maybe it was higher than it usually is. I am getting blood work done today (oh joy), to see if they have gone back down. I'm nervious to get off meds before I can do some regular counseling and see the lady that specializes in treating panic attacks. Even with the medication, I still get them almost daily. I'm really kind of scared to go off of them (in the even that they are actually being helpful).


Hopefully, all goes well, I'm sure I'm fine.. but I have that stupid, nagging voice in my head that I can't drown out. I've been n* ever since, and anxious, and scared... cause what if I v*.. or what if I have something that will make me v*.. I hope they can find out today... it didn't take them long at the hospital.. so hopefully by tomorrow...


g2g... but thanks for the feedback
