My son presented with a bunch of seemingly unrelated symptoms when he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, including weight loss from about 190 to 150 lbs. When the fourth or fifth doctor we consulted mentioned liver biopsy and my wife started crying, I figured I better look into what was going on. I normally let my wife deal with all the medical stuff since she is a registered nurse.
After about fifteen minutes on the internet and asking my son one question, I determined that all the symptoms and out of whack lab results could be explained by a reaction to minocycline.
When the specialist still mentioned doing a biopsy I told him that a minocycline reaction explains all the symptoms and that in the two to three weeks of being off the drug while waiting for his appointment, the liver enzymes have dropped 90% of the way back to normal for the first time in almost a year, and you want to do a biopsy?
What else can I say?
Like Billd says, you gotta watch out for yourself.
