Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I had to stop taking Arava because my liver enzymes went very high, very fast when I was taking it. (a shame, because it worked better for my RA than anything else has) It took quite a while, but my liver enzymes are normal again now. > > HI all, > > Does anyone have liver problems from being on your meds?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks . So as I hear from my Gastro I will call my rheum about the bilirubin in my urine. Sorry to hear you can't take the Arava. Debbie L > > > > HI all, > > > > Does anyone have liver problems from being on your meds? I take > Lodine > > for OA and Zocor for cholesterol.
