Anyone know any connection besides all the abx we take, that would make one's ALT numbers go high? I do not drink, I do not take tylenol.

Also told I'm anemic... and gee.. I give myself B12 shots every 3 weeks.

I had my Hep B shots back in 1992, but had blood transf. in 1981 before they tested the blood. Had many needle pokes in dentistry. Was tested for HIV many years after all that and ok.

But now with Babs and Bart.... now finding each blood test I'm having higher liver ALT numbers.

I have more tests tomorrow with my LLMD for all the hepatitis letters.

Anyone else get this with their dumb lyme crap?

Yes, I had high ALT/AST numbers and turned yellow. Also low ferritin. Although my LLMD mainly suspected the antibiotics, he also wondered if I had lyme hepatitis. Some sources indicate 15-20% of Lyme patients have this. My numbers have gone back down to normal now, and I am still on the ABX.
