From what I have learned if your blood shows high Alk levels (normal is 20-140 but they will allow it to go as high as 100 more before they take action so it says on my information)you are told to stop the meds, it doesn't mean that your liver is damaged it just means if you carry on taking them it might cause problems.
Hopefully your blood has been checked at least every month so they will have nipped any ongoing problem in the bud.
I believe it does not take long at all after stopping the medication for the liver to return to normal, so I wouldn't worry, they are just being cautiious I bet.

Well no need to worry then in they are done every two weeks sounds like they are really on the ball.

Hi Kazzie, I had a similar situation when I was on MTX. My wbc was too low and got a call to stop for a few weeks, I ended up not going back on them. I know how you feel, If you are due to increase your MTX then how will your body cope then if it cant just now? That was my worry, but they will monitor your closely.
Take Care x
