I just breezed through this string and wow...I didn’t know about David as I’m rarely on. That saddens me but he was right, no one gets out alive :(...
Wow Emma! What else can you say? That was a super tough patch. Glad to hear Dougie is doing better and back on track. Can't imagine what all that was like as patient or caregiver. Ziff! Long time no...
Sorry I joined this discussion late...Mamalama sent me an email but I was out of town at the time. While CMV can cause CMV hepatitis and jaundice, they need to biopsy her to make sure it isn't...
Hey there, AndLo! Any updates since your hepatologist appointment?...
Ocamo, I’m not sure why you or your doctor would think you have AIH based on your ANA or LFTs...all your numbers are normal. Work on getting your cholesterol under 200 and if you need to lose weight,...
Yay! Let’s hope the PSC is fine too :)...

Well isn't this the happiest post to see first thing in the morning? Glad to hear your guy is doing so well. It's been a long ride for sure!...
Hello AkiFeelsYucky, I'm not big on holistic medicine for treating this disease. That being said, I think it also depends on individual circumstances. My initial presentation was quite severe so...
I'm on my phone All my side effects whent away or started going away when I got down to 10mg of pred. I was on pred for a total of 22 months. Budesonie wasn't approved for use with AIH. It was...
I was wondering if they tested more specific antibodies...ASMA (anti-smooth muscle), ALK-1 (anti-liver kidney), and less commonly; anti-soluble liver/liver pancreas antigen (anti-SLA/LP) or atypical...
That surprises me. I thought there were less side effects with CellCept. I had none. I was only on it for a few months then switched to Imuran because I was going to be on it a long time. Have you...
