So...how long would it take an elevated ALT to harm you?
When I was diagnosed, my ALT was 48...five years later, it's 64. It's always been assumed that I have fatty liver, as all liver DISEASE tests have come back clear. I JUST filled my Met prescription four days ago, and I was incredibly excited to have it again. My OB ran a full panel just to be safe, but I got a letter from her today saying to not take the Met and follow up with my regular PCP.
The problem is that our insurance runs out in a week, and I can't get in to see the PCP before then. Does anyone think I'd be safe just taking the 1500 mg of Met (what I'm working up to) for six months, then getting my labs done again?
I'm frustrated to the point of tears - I can't lose weight without Metformin, but I can't take Metformin to help me lose weight!
