I have both good and bad news.

My hepatologist's office called today. The hospital will be having a flu clinic. They offered to get me a voucher so I could get a shot. I am supposed to call next week to get the voucher.

They also called to tell me that my enzymes are slightly elevated. Back in August my ALT was 20....and my AST was 34. Now my ALT is 44 and my AST is 54. Keep in mind that 40 is normal for these....and my slight elevation isn't a big deal. Its only a sign that things are sort of going in the wrong direction. So.......here's the deal. I will be taking 5 mg of Prednisone starting tomorrow. I will have blood work in two weeks. Some possible solutions...stay on 50 mg of Imuran and a small dose of Prednisone for a while....OR.......increase my Imuran. We'll see what happens. I shouldn't fret.....it's not lke my enzymes are where they were ten years ago.........in the thousands. What's 14 points anyway? Practically normal! I never professed to be normal.
