I hope you have more luck than I did. When my blood test showed anything

above 'normal', meds were taken away just in case that was causing the

abnormality. No further tests were made and no reenstatement of meds ever

happened. My suffering and complaints fell on deaf ears, so I had to fire my

Rummy and go back to my original Rheumy who put me back on all that was

taken away from me, and I'm doing comparatively great! I tried Arava but had

to stop it because of test results, but I still had everything else, so

there was no loss except the money I had to pay for the meds I couldn't

take. Good luck with yours.

Sierra,

I am sure after a few weeks, the enzymes will be normal again. I

have been down that road too many times. I pray that you keep

feeling well, and keep us posted, Tawny
