Test results came back!

I was worried about my liver because my initial pre hrt test results had indicated that my liver wasn't functioning correctly. Well I had more blood drawn yesterday and the results came back and my liver is fine!! Woooo big weight off my shoulders. Talked to my doctor about what it could have been and he said it could have been the herbals I was taking before I started the hrt. He said it probably stressed out my liver.

Great news about your liver.

It's worth repeating that. A lot of people think that herbals must be benign because they're "natural"...well yes they are but there are plenty of natural things that can cause you problems if ingested. Anyway, I'm glad your liver recovered whatever the cause!

You and I both I was freaked out for the past week worried that I damaged my liver and that I might have to stop hrt if that was the case.

Fortunately the liver can take a fair bit of abuse and even recover from damage as long as it's not too bad!

You mean tobacco's not healthy? Surely not.
