moved to a new state a few months back. Needed to find a doc to give me my xanax for an anxiety issue and the doc in my other state said I needed them and that's why they make them. New doc said NO to the xanax and was a real jerk about it. Ordered some blood work-up and said come back in a week. Also on that day he was the one who found the nodule on my thyroid gland and said you need to see a doctor cause it's probably cancer. Ok, I'm AT a doctor now-right?
So I leave there swearing I am never going to him again. I am seeing an endo for the non malignant nodule. So the jerk doc's office calls to confirm me coming in and I said no I am not seeing him again but I want my test results. Nurse gets on phone and won't give them to me. I said tell jerk doc to call me then. She makes me an appt to come in and see another doctor there,who she says is nicer but I can't see him for 2 months.Well that was yesterday. he comes in says let me tell you right off the bat that I do not prescribe xanax and oh by the way.........the test you had here 2 months ago showed a slightly high glucose level and you have hepatitis C, and.......at which point I am freaking and say..........wait back up-what did you just say??? He goes.......yes we will send you to blah blah blah for a liver biospy and yadda yadda yadda.................and I ask why wasn't I notified 2 months ago and he says he doesn't know as he is just now seeing my chart.So he says they need to do 2 more test to show conclusively. So I agreed and they were expensive and I ask to see original jerk doc for an explanation and he refuses to come in to see me.
I am in shock. I have been married 30 years in a monogamous relationship, do not use drugs, do not do anything that appears to cause this deadly virus. I'm so angry that no one called me. I'm shocked,scared, stressed..........you name it.
I do take xanax and am wondering if it could cause a reading to be high in my liver.I don't feel unwell at all.
Anyone who can or will answer me, please do so.

Do you have a tattoo? A barber who put blades, etc in the blue solution? These are some of the more common ways of contracting hep C. This is a very serious liver disease that must be followed by a specialist; a gastroenterologist will probably be who you'll be referred to next. FYI: Naomi Judd contracted hep C as a nurse caring for a patient who had a then unknown liver infection. Good luck to you.
no tatoo. did find out though that my ex husband has Hep C and he was a needle/drug user when I was married to him over 30 years ago. Guess I am to assume I've had this for that long??
Can't find much information on xanax causing liver enzymes to be high; but did find some reports indicating it.
Will know the results of the test from yesterday on Tuesday.
I have Hep C, discovered by accident 10 years ago, contracted some 20 or 30 years ago, had a liver biopsy, everything is good. Never had symptoms, treatment or anything... I see a gastroenterologist for blood work once a year or so... Good luck and don't worry...
sorry you have it tas, but great news that you seem ok. thanks and I sent you a PM, ok?

Xanax has nothing to do with abnormal SGPT/liver enzymes....however if a doctor suspects drug abuse he may hesititate to prescribe a mild anti-anxietydrug.
Hep C is complicated and check WebMd.com for causes. My brother is a dr. and chronic hep C is nothing to ignore- it can be serious-
well gee Sunny; don't you think I know it's a death sentence???
I'm taking it very seriously thank you very much.
I think it's against the law for a doctor to NOT call and reveal test results such as these. I intend to consult an atty. about this as soon as the testing is complete and they give me the prognosis.

Maybe.....
My experience when I had an abnormal mammogram (OK) - the staff tried to call with results, but did NOT leave them on the answering machine, only a message to call the office. Hope you get positive news.
well I will continue to worry, but will send good thoughts and prayers your way. Thanks.
