I was on Vicodin a while ago but my doctor took me off because she said it's bad for my liver. She checked and my enzymes were fine. That was several months ago. Since then I've been on Nabumetone which is for pain but is also an anti inflammatory. I'm not sure if that's affecting my liver or not. My rheum did not take me off the Nabumetone. She wants more tests to determine what's happening but we are out of time now, hoping to get into rheum in TN soon.

I'm dealing with swelling right now. My face and hands. When Im in a lupus flare I get swollen and sore lymph nodes in my neck, armpis. I run a fever also. My liver enzymes have been elevated before but my Dr said I was taking too much acetaminphin. I was in a lot of pain and taking a lot of over the counter pain relievers.
Well all I can say is I was very sick before being diagnosed with Lupus and Celiac degenerative disc disease fibromyalgia Raynaud’s I have a slight probably cyst in my liver I was told before I had fatty liver have had swollen lymph nodes I take gabaprntin tramafol tizanidine and amotryptoline I was on 10 vicodin highest dose fr pain management Dr and decided Iwill go back to pprimary they seem to treat the symptoms better and yes lupus is very weird I guess all I read I’ve had and last Sunday I got very upset over PayPal overcharged me and was really suck bad everywhere and as bad as I feel it seems worst on my nerves and emotions because all of my loved ones suffer with me not knowing if I’m dying so I seriously prayed and got in with my inner self and Thursday I was up all day doing errands and by a miracle so we all suffer over a disease I feel government gave me because fda approved birth control as medicine and Dr thinks that’s why I have lupus and not fair I want to live by the grace of god I am here and my kids have a mother when there older it will be my time because I will b ready to go if its my time I’m a fighter and keep going I learned to accept swollen liver face hands legs heart beat irregular us all of the lupus so by understanding that I feel better am trying to fight this I was on chemo lupus showed negative I quit taking it my vitamin b12 was high and showing signs of anemia the next danger of imuran is leukimia and since I had an uncle whom died of lung cancer decided its not worth the risk and had also contracted shingles so I had to weigh good and bad however Thursday met a woman whom her daughter at 20 has lupus since age of three and had a seizure and stroke and now has a walker so I sure started counting my blessings good luck to you
