What the levels are at, what you were taking, how long...etc... about a year ago I had abnormal/high liver levels and the specialist did an MRI and some other blood work .,..she could not tell me how long it would take to get them to normal...they just came back down. When yours straighten out which meds are you going back onto for you RA? Was it metho that caused them to raise or something else? I know what it feels like to have to wait tho for meds depending on liver results so I am pulling for you!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have heard about stress in life affecting RA. In the meantime, I have quit work and am trying to take it easier in life. However, I am one to keep stress inside and with family problems and going to school, I don't think my stress level has decreased that much. Therefore, even though my RA activity level has been cut in half, it is still active. I am going to try to use some of my free time to exercise and hopefully reduce more stress this way. Hope this helps.
