She has been struggling to quit smoking, and went on Chantix, and she didnt quit, but came close. She also gained a bit of weight which upset her greatly. Then she went to the neuro and found out that her liver enzymes are elevated and climbing. She has been on Betaseron for 10 years! 10! and not one single large relapse. She has been a poster child for the drug, and very happy with the results.

Now after taking Chantix they are thinking it bumped her liver into being unhappy, and we are both thinking that the Beta is keeping it unhappy. Now when she takes a shot she gets deep chills, and deep body aches, along with a large dose of not feeling good.

She is going this morning for a liver scan, and a scan to check for a family condition at the same time, but its scary, frustrating, and irritating. Will she have to give up the meds that took her EDS from 3.5 to 0? Will she relapse if she stops it? Will she be able to continue to live the unencumbered life she leads now? So many questions.

So, up at the crack of insanity with NO coffee! she went to her scan. Can you say a little prayer for her as you pass thru your day?
