I had gotten myself in the mind set that I was going to have my dosage of Rocephin increased to 2gms. I was really NOT looking forward to it because of how sick I had become on 1gm. To make it even harder to accept, I had 5 great days after the peak of my sickness passed on 1gm (which was Thanksgiving of course)
Then I recieved a call from my doctor at 6pm last night telling me that my blood test for my liver had come in and that I had gone from 16 to 116. I find it odd that it went up EXACTLY 100 pts and almost feel like having them re-test me today instead of next Monday because I'm leary of a Type-O. But regaurdless I'm really upset about it. I want this treatment. I'm nervous that my lyme will start multiplying and that the effectivness is going to be far less if I wait a week.
In the mean time is there anything I can take to clean out my liver and get myself back on tract. I REALLY want to start up again ASAP. I would hate to think I got this PICC line etc. for nothing.., or even worse that I went threw one of the worst months of my life health wise, only to not be able to finish my treatment.

When mine went high on abx's I upped my dosage of milk thistle. (some people take 1000mg/day during "acute infection")
What helps -
Milk Thistle Turmeric Dandelion Artichoke NAC ALA
NuMedica makes a great product called Liver Defend. It has Milk Thistle + NAC + ALA + Selenium
Not only does it help the liver, but it increase glutathione levels.
Avoid really fatty foods. try to stick to oils for now.
Obviously no alcohol.
