Default Met and you Liver

Has anyone been taken off Met b/c of high liver enzymes? I have been taking it for about 4 years now and since I started taking it, my liver enzymes have been high. My doctor is starting to get concerned, which is in turn making me upset. I don't want to screw up my liver but evey time I talk to his b****y nurse she tells me I can control my IR with diet alone. Well, guess what, I have triend that, it didn't work, so I was put on Met. BTW, I really can't stand women that have no idea what you are going through and try and tell you what you should be doing to take care of yourself... Anyway, just wondered if anyone else had this experiance.
