I suggested she try something and of course she did it. I could get her in trouble if she keeps that up.

She decided to take a Betaseron vacation. After 14 days of not being on the meds, she had her LFTs redrawn. They dropped by at least HALF! Thats awesome!

We are thinking that maybe the chantix or the weight gain, or something must have pushed the Betaseron into reacting badly on her. She has written an email to her MD who didnt know she took the break. Like most MDs he said "keep shooting!" and if we cant find any other reason for it, we will try a vacation with you. Well, we didnt wait for him or her liver to get past the 200 mark.

Since being off the Beta, she reports less bloating, less fatigue, less pain in her ribs. She has increased her fruits, and veggies and has done some exercise, so its not simply a Beta break, she is being pro active in other ways, but the LFTs were rising with each draw.

Will keep you tuned on the results from her MS MD about how long SHE not HE wants a break from this to allow her liver to heal. Please dont stop the prayers. its working!
