StillyD , thanks for the advice any and all sure helps. They don't want me to use milkthistle because it hasn't been tested how it reacts to prescript drugs. I'll be tested at least once a month to make sure that I haven't been smoking pot(marinol) or drinking alcolhol or any other illicit drugs. By the way if any of you or your friends have had a liver transplant, I sure would like to know how they were able to come up with the 4 to 6000.00 a month for the presciptions. Most insurance does not cover the drugs that need to be taken.I have a little to much in assets to get medicaid which does cover it. Jim
