THANK YOU!! I read all of the articles. Some of the info I have read

previously but much is new to me! I have had elevated liver function test

at various times over the last 10 years. The last being 1 year ago at my

annual physical. My primary sent me for an ultrasound, which showed that I

had a 'fatty liver'. She also tested me for Hep A, B, C & D. (All came

back negative. ) Now I have to wonder why this info wasn't tied into the

ongoing symptoms that have since been diagnosed as RA? I never even thought

to tell the rheumy about it........ But then I'm sure with all the labs he

sent me for something must showed up. I must learn to ask about the test

results. Overwhelmed is probably an understatement. It's been hard to

comprehend and harder to accept without a support system. I'm so glad that

I found this group.
