i just wanted to know what LLMD's do when your liver isnt functioning correctly?...do they reduce your dosage intake or do they add more meds for your liver?...how do they try to correct it?..

Hi Lymie: My liver function came back high about six months ago. My doctor didn't do anything to change it at the time. Then, I repeated my blood work including lyme/thyroid/liver, etc. in another three months (I do every three months) and my liver function was fine.....???

I would defintely take milk thistle with breakfast and dinner! Very important!!!! It is a cleanser for the liver. Also, I would just really try to drinks LOTS AND LOTS of water and do your detoxing stuff!!!

I get my bloodwork results again on 12/14/11. Hopefully, they will be okay. All these meds....what are we to do??!!!

Milk thistle or any other liver support supplements. I've been taking them for about a year, and my last results showed very low enzymes where a year ago they were high.

maybe all this is normal...i feel like all this is getting too big for me to take care of by myself...but if its normal to have low or high liver function....and lymphs swollen...then i guess im going to keep going....*deep breath*.....and i absolutely know its normal to feel overwhelmed...lol...and im wrapped up in it...lol

You bet it's normal to feel over whelmed!! You do need to get things going for liver support. Milk thistle is a good one and one which most LLMD's that use herbs suggest. It was too strong for me, but most tolerate it very well.

Can you afford to go get a Lymph massage - or what do they call that? Well, poop! My brain isn't working! I must be getting tired. ugh. Anyway, it's a specific type of massage that helps to get the lymph fluid moving good. I use a tincture to help mine.

How off is your thyroid? Have you had a thyroid function test? Did they only test TSH levels? If your thyroid isn't functioning properly, you really ought to be on meds for that.

about the cholesterol, are you taking green tea? Either the supplements or the tea itself? That will actually help as well as making sure that you are getting lots of leafy greens in your diet.

And of course water, water, water! Drink lots of water! This will help flush your liver as well.

You'll get there LymieAngel!!

Do what you can so that you can get as much rest as possible for the next couple of days at least, LymieAngel.
