Default Chronic Myofascial Pain/Blood Tests?

Hi. I went to another doc and we discussed my liver enzymes,SGOT, and SGPT that were elevated and he said this suggests problems with detoxification and or fatty changes to the liver. Can someone explain this to me in what its doing to me and symptoms that I may have which is result of that. Also my white blood count is low and he said that is associated with adrenal fatigue and low DHEA-Slufate though not reported. I had thought my vitamin d level was fine but he said it sub optimal and he is concerned about my severe osteoporsis(I'm 29) and recovered from long battle of eating disorder though which osteo is seen in. I'm asking thse ?'s because this doc though my tests such as the ekg/ssep showed pn and the other docs I saw said it was but needed to be treated like rsd. Now this doc thinks it may be Chronic Myofascial Pain and or Fibromyalgia and that the medical treatments they have done with the narcotic,depression/anti seizure meds can actually make it worse the symptoms.So possibly all the meds and most of the docs after the orthopedic put me in that boot said that was making it worse so that goes along with what the other said. Also that the spinal cord stimulator may not work for this type of pain. I didn't discuss more on what he wants to do and am going to but need to talk to my mom cause I'm so confused.The other pain docs only wanted to do either the spinal cord stimultor or catheter and none of the multple doc suggested this dx. This doc said I have had extensive workup though may want to do some more tests which of course none of this is covered by my insurance. Its not a money issue though I don't want to be taken. This doc is a holistic family medicine doc. Any thoughts?
