How concerned should I be?

I had an appointment with my doctor last week. Everything went ok except he is having me come back for bloodwork next month. Somehow my liver markers were a bit off. The only thing I can think of is that when I was at 5mg I was taking two Arthritis Strength Tylenol every day. I have not had a drink of any kind since PMR came along. I never did drink much. I’m thinking about this maybe more than I should be. Maybe a little health anxiety?!?! Did any of you ever have this happen or know anything about it?

Liver markers can be raised just with PMR - sure you aren't hatching a flare?

I have already hatched a flare. I was at 5 mg. I got to hurting so bad that I went back up to 10. I’m now at 9 and pretty much pain free. I can even get off the toilet! Woohoo!

We all need small successes in our lives, so even avoiding being hoisted off the loo by our OH's classes as one!!

Whoo hoo indeed. I thank the builder who suggested a taller loo everyday!

My owners are pretty slow on the fix it list .....but wow they were here in a flash when I told them I needed a grab bar by the toilet. They knew I had dislocated my shoulder.
