My mom's been on arthritis medication and we just got her liver function test results back. Her GGT levels are up to 84, and I'm really worried. Is this something dangerous? Can we do something about it? Would love your insight.

Mentioned GGT value shows it's on the higher side. It would be better to take any well know liver supplementation along with it Next Steps Please get an Ultrasound whole abdomen done too

I've been experiencing these body aches and mild fever every few weeks, like clockwork, about every 20 days. The aches are really intense, to the point where even my ears and fingers hurt, and I just feel feverish. It's weird because sometimes I think I have a fever, but when I check with a thermometer, it usually reads normal. Even so, I feel this internal feverishness and a general sense of weakness. What could be causing these recurring body pains and this mild feverish feeling? Is there something going on that I should be worried about?

It sounds like you might be experiencing recurrent episodes of a viral infection, inflammatory response, or an underlying autoimmune condition. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or viral infections can cause body aches and a low-grade fever, even without a measurable temperature increase. Its important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying causes and get a proper diagnosis.

I've been dealing with this constant pain in my ribs, on both sides, but it's worse on the left. It's been going on for the last couple of years, and the pain comes and goessome days it's really bad, and others it's not there at all. I'm 31, weigh 104, and I'm about 5'7". I'll admit, I don't have the healthiest lifestyle, and I used to smoke. I've done some tests like a 2D echo, a stress test, an endoscopy, and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure is a bit high, and I have thyroid issues, but all my other blood work looks good, except for some cholesterol issues. I'm just trying to figure out what might be causing this rib pain. Any ideas on what could be going on or what I should do next?

I've been feeling really concerned lately about some joint pain I've been having. I'm 48 years old, and I've started experiencing pain in my knee joints. Along with that, the small joints in my fingers are also hurting and feel pretty stiff in the mornings. I don't have any other health issues right now, but I'm really curious about natural treatments to help manage this pain. Could you give me some advice on what I can do to start addressing this?
