Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Jo, I would talk to your rheumy regarding what could be causing high levels in your liver. My rheumy checks on all that stuff on my labs but it is mostly from the plaquinel (make sure you have your eyes checked out on that medication too, a retina specialist). You should be able to take tylenlol for pain since that is not an NSAID. Hope that helps. --- In , " unicornmom1062 " <Donahuejk6@...> wrote: > > helo all, I am new to the groug and just found out about almost a year > ago I had RA and Lupus.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 MTX is probably what is raising your levels. Tylenol can also be very bad on your liver. If your levels are high you need to talk to your doctor and follow his recommendation. You can go to tylenol.com and get info about how tylenol can elevate liver enzymes. linda <man_u8@...> wrote: Jo, I would talk to your rheumy regarding what could be causing high levels in your liver.
