Am going to investigate whether I am beginning to experience arthritis.

Am experiencing some bone aches, hot flashes, sleeplessness. but i have had those effects before starting drug so can't say if completely related. I suspect they are since they have become more bothersome. However, now my liver ensymes have gone up to outside normal ranges and i have to repeat blood work. Has anyone else had rise in liver enzymes? and if so, what was conclusion?
