Likewise!! Same with me! If alcohol is out of the question (is it!? 
), excessive use of simple carbohydrates and or processed food could be the culprits!! Have to come back to it and havenāt done it yet!! 
Think itās better to grow weed!!

@Donnie, good place to be suspicious about!! Iād do the same if I were you, sounds like you have a decent diet!! Thereās an herb, I have to remember the name, which is very much used to help the liver deal with toxicitiesā¦ as soon as I find Iāll let you knowā¦Got it!!! Milk Thistle, you grind the seeds and use with some kinda smoothie!! See if you find and research a bit about it!! Impressive, and has been used since ancient times!! Best of health!!

@Donnie . Good thing is, just like our beloved weed, the level of side effects is minimal (Iām talking about the Milk Thistle) compared to any synthetic and allopathic medicine, thatās why itās always worth looking into before any other heavier kind of intervention!! We do have to take care of our livers!! Lost a homeopathic doctor in the past due to a gone wrong transplantā¦ long story short, what are we without our health!!! Canāt even smoke a toke!! lol!! 
Oh, I forgot!! Turmeric, curcumin in powder, a tsp with a bit of black pepper!! Serious immune system/liver booster!!! Look into it too!!

Looks like it may have interactions with 3 of my current medications 2 of which I think are the cause of the liver issue honestly.

Wow, I look at this and think man I am unhealthy. I do drink, eat processed food, eat beef, eat pork, eat noodles, get lots of carbs and love fried stuff.

Iāve always ate pretty healthy . But when my cholesterol got high a year ago I cut stuff out totally . Iāve never really had much of a metabolism at all .
Understandable. I should as well but have never checked my cholesterol. I have always been pretty lucky, my last job of 14 years I had 1 sick day. It was from a flu after working 20 hour days for weeks on end. I would nap on breaks. I am sure it will all catch up to me. I did have that large tumor removed from my back a few months ago but that was no big deal, hell I didnāt even let them put me under. Was an interesting experience.

Yeah my situation changed after starting some meds, major weight gain , water retention and such. Not to mention rise in my blood sugar when Iām normally hypoglycemic.

Yes @Donnie and @DougDawson, knowing of my tendencies to high blood pressure and or high cholesterol, Iāve been digging into a plant based diet!! What genes hit you in the face with, you have to compensate one way or another!! 
Sounds like the cure might be worse than the diseaseā¦ pretty typical with pharmaceuticals, unfortunately.

@Cormoran One always pays dearly for any pharmaceutical medicine, as you well put, unfortunately, with oneās own health (discount!)

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Just had a (shower) thought, wouldnāt it be nifty if the community could coordinate some type of local match-up between 2 -or more- growers located near one another, so that one could āsupportā the other while theyāre āout on the mendā?
Your comment reminded me of another I read elsewhere, where a guy was in the hospital for like a month and another nearby grower offered to germ and harden a new crop for them so that theyād be ready to plant first thing post-frost.
Canāt speak for everyone, but Iād sure be willing to donate some of my grow space for another fellow enthusiast, should the logistics - and stars - align.

Thatās a good idea and thoughtful. But in some places like it , thatās not legal . Here if youāre not listed as the personās caregiver youāre not supposed to even water the plants or mess with them at all . Iād imagine everywhere is different.
