I had my second baby on October 12, 2019, and after a natural vaginal delivery, my placenta was still attached to my uterus, leading to excessive bleeding and a blood transfusion. Now, at my annual check-up, my comprehensive blood panel showed elevated AST and ALT levels. I am a 33-year-old female, non-smoker, non-drinker, weighing 128 pounds, and 5ft 5inch. I have no history of hepatitis or liver diseases in my family. Could the elevated liver enzymes be related to the blood transfusion? Is this something dangerous?

My friend over 60 has tendonitis in his right shoulder, is diabetic, and was prescribed prednisone pills in titrating doses 6,5,4,3,2,1. The pharmacist advised taking them all at once. His blood sugar is 357, and he feels bloated, fatigued, short of breath, and has stomach pain. He has a history of kidney, liver, and heart issues. What should be done about his current condition and the prednisone dosage?

I have been experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, weakness in legs and shoulders (more on the left side), knee pain due to weakness, difficulty swallowing, speaking difficulties, occasional vertigo, hyperventilation, and intermittent stiffness in calves, especially after sports. These symptoms first appeared in January and have fluctuated since then. I have been diagnosed with an intermittent dystonia in my left hand and a mild B12 deficiency, which I am supplementing. I have also been diagnosed with anxiety. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned about a more serious condition like polymyositis?
