A part of the psych meds (and some other meds) causing ill health is the fact that some of these meds alter glucose metabolism. So no matter your caloric intake, large or small, this alteration occurs. What, exactly, does this mean? I think I know ;yet, I am not sure I fully understand ALL of what this may mean. I am meeting with my PC doctor very soon and am hoping to get more info on this, as he is the source of the info I have shared in the prior sentence.
It's never healthy to take in too many calories, of course.
All 3 of my docs recently involved in the labs and in the review of the US did, repeatedly, state the "cause is your meds." I countered that argument a few times and was told the culprit is, in fact, the meds. That was their perspective on that day. Again, I will see what is said to me in another appt soon. The most urgent action taken was to discontinue the Seroquel. They'd said they would be monitoring and would discontinue additiona meds if the liver enzymes continue to climb.
I was also told the liver condition is slowly progressive. Is it always slowly progressive? Is it only slowly progressive if still exposed to certain meds? Is it slowly progressive if offending med is discontinued and living a healthy lifestyle? Does the progression stop under certain circumstances? All questions I have that need to be cleared up and I will ask them when I see my PC doc.
It's important to get these questions answered in order to fully understand how to prevent certain health conditions and how to "heal" certain health conditions, if possible.
I am grateful to everyone for all of the experiences and info shared.
