What's on your Wednesday Menu?
Mine is still elevated with no answers in sight despite a liver biopsy, autoimmune testing, viral testing, prednisone taper (to rule out untested auto immune disorders). I have been referred to a liver specialist but have not yet heard from them to schedule an appointment. Also to rheumatology, same no contact from them either.

What's funny is that mine are pretty much high normal now compared to my baseline numbers from my consultation date. I think one of the two is just barely outside of range and the other is normal. Guess it's just what this doctor is choosing to focus on based on his knowledge. I'm up for any tests right now though, so happy to have everything checked. He had asked if I'd been tested for hepatitis this year...so I guess he thinks that's a consideration.
Glad your baseline numbers haven't been something to be concerned about!

Good mornin everyone!
Turns out I didn't see my eye specialist yesterday...I do that next week and I just had the dye test done. Only one stick so I am ok with that! It was crazy busy. They pack em in like sardines and it's absolute madness.
I have decided to stop with the CBD stuff. It really wasn't helping with anything but anxiety. Oddly enough it was making my depression worse. That's the last thing I need. It was also very expensive for me. It is making me very sad. I'm hoping to hear back from the neurologist clinic I emailed yesterday. I just know I can't live like this.
Appointment with my new provider is today.

Kudos for still getting your stick. They tried to send me for a blood draw yesterday and I deferred. Too many needles this year. Just couldn't do it.
If you think the CBD is negatively affecting your mood, I hope it wears off quickly. It's so hard to find the balance of what works with treatments.
