Week 19 & 20

Bruce weekends really have not changed, he just feels like crap and is tired and he needs to rest with naps. After taking the shots Friday night Saturday and Sunday are just plain ole TOUGH.

I have been so frustrated with his liver enzymes be high that I stayed up late last weekend to google everything that I could think of to see if I could figure out what might be causing this. I started investigating all the drugs he is on and low and behold I stumbled on to something on drugss.com. The medcation he is on for is gout indicated that it could cause elevated liver tests, so I asked his doctor this week to google it and it looks very likely that this may be the problwm . He is off that drug for a week then a blood test to see if his levels are lower. The doctor also has ordered a ultrasound to look at his liver see if anything looks abnormal. I sure hope we found the answer.

It now looks like he will need to be on treatment for 72 instead of 52 weeks, which really sucks but were looking for a cure, so we will hold it together and make it through this.

Thursdays and Fridays before shots are becomming my favorite days of the week, he feels better and that make me happy.
