Liver enzymes, what are they anyways?

It has been since that dreaded day Sept 11th, the date of my gallbladder surgery, that my liver enzymes are finally back to normal. Hooray! Elevated enzymes are a pretty good indicator of how healthy your liver is. Your numbers should be around 30-40 and mine have gotten as high as 166. No wonder I felt like I was coming down with the flu for weeks on end. Miserable. After trying many things, I found Dr. Dave Shiflet in Mesa. He has helped me over the past month feel so much better. I was apprehensive to do my bloodwork again to see if things had changed. The doctor called me on Tues ( the dr. who scheduled me for an ERCP) and cancelled the procedure because my liver enzymes tested normal for the first time in eight months. He couldn't explain it, but I could. Another testament to alternative medicine. Don't get me wrong. I love westernized med, but there is surely a place in this world for alternative. I am hoping to close this chapter in my life and press forward. Onward and upward to summer vacation. After reading others blogs, I fear that I am boring..........so I need to spice things up a bit hmm, hmmm. I am just too tired, maybe next time. Au revoir.
