Just in case anyone refers back to this post for a similar injury, doctor said he thinks it's a rotator cuff injury referring to my arm. Physical therapy is all he thinks it needs.

I will for sure, thanks

What else could be going on??

Interesting. But I don't think I have, no.

Oh great.

Thank you for the support. I'm happy to be here and finally take control of my health. I'm counting calories and watching my sugar intake. I know I have a lot more to learn but this is a start. I tried joining the pre diabetes boards here but haven't been accepted yet. Also, I sprained my foot so I can text use til it…

Did you lose the weight by eating cleaner? I have 60 pounds to lose and I find that to be overwhelming at my age (46).

Unfortunately I did not receive a referral, and won't be able to see a RD. Hoping to gather as much info as I can to improve my health.

Thanks Mike for sharing your dad's story with me. I'm terrified of being a diabetic, and this is the wake up call I needed to start focusing on my health. Glad to know it's not a death sentence, tho.

Thank you for the input. I received no other instructions other than to exercise and watch my simple carbs. Is there a daily carb or sugar limit one is supposed to stay under as a prediabetic?

These are all great ideas, and very doable for me. I like all of these!

Ronnymack do you think NSAIDS would elevate them too?

I have adenomyosis AND fibroids. Lucky me! I hemorrhaged every month and finally I accepted my doctor's recommendation that I get the Mirena. It may have taken a year for it to finally settle in, but I noticed a lessening I'm bleeding right away. Now I may or may not get a monthly period, but it is not a bother when it…

I saw the doctor today, she said the ALT/AST can go up for any reason, not to worry if it's not too high. She ran some ultra specific blood test for the liver just in case though.

I think it's so important to know that there is a strong correlation between high BMI and health, in this case, liver function. I'm so glad to hear your tests improved. That is inspiring!

Hi Rose, I do wonder if there is a connection there with the NSAIDS. I also was taking high doses of them for bad headaches. I'm glad to hear your doctor said not to worry.

Exactly my reasoning! Friday mornings are my day.

I'm afraid it's important to me. I know some people just see how their clothes fit, but I need to see the scale moving to stay motivated.

Interesting, because I just read about the connection to celiac disease. I never would have guessed that as a link to the elevated liver enzymes. But I've wondered if I might have celiac myself, worth asking about next time I go.

Hi there, thanks so much for sharing this. It's interesting we are all hypothyroid. I do take ibuprofen at least several times a week, sometimes 600mg several times a day. Maybe that's a factor too. Do you mind me asking when she wants you to have them retested?

Thanks for the reply, and for sharing your experience. Has your doctor even done an ultrasound? Mine seemed content just to have me rechecked in three months.
