Re: Liver Damage from APAP - How do I tell?

Here's my story real quick:

Pinched nerve (cyatic region, lower back) also torn intercostal cartilage in rib cage.. Started meds with an apap level of 3000mg a day. Never went over once... Follow up with PCP and continued on meds for a few more months. Middle of month three started getting dizzy spells, hot flashes, bloodshot eyes, ect. Got very scared and had full bloodwork done. My alt levels came back at 179!!! This whole time I was taking NAC 1200mg a day. I had a very wierd feeling that the cause of my alt levels to rise was directly from the NAC. I don't know why I felt this way, because all informaiton I found said NAC did the exact opposite. I decided to stop taking NAC and lowered my apap use to 2000mg a day. Had bloodwork done one month later and my alt levels are now back down to 45!! So in the end I don't know if it was the apap or NAC?? Either way I've stopped NAC completly and stay under 1000mg apap. I still take the same ammount of meds due to ongoing medical problems, but I've lessened the apap using a certain method. All problems cleared up and feeling 10X better. IMO I would try to always stay under 2000mg apap if your considering using a medication for longer than one month. Long term treatment should always have the least apap possible. You only have one liver and taking medication is not worth risking your life. If you do a search on the web about lowering apap in certain meds, you'll find a method that can help. Good luck and stay safe!!!
