Hi everyone, My name is and I have had AIH for on year now. Ive

had two biopsys in the past year. First one came back a grade four

level three. I was placed on 50mg prednisone and 50mg imuran. I sure

did hate the prednisone, it does weird stuff to the body. My second

biopsy came back grade 2 level 2, which is much improved. I am now

off the prednisone and feel like i'm about to die. My joints hurt,

like no pain I have ever felt. I still suffer from fatigue, and the

doctor thinks I always will. Over the last three months my liver

levels continued to rise, not alot, so thats why we did the second

biopsy. I go back in March 2006 for blood work and to see where I am

at. I know my liver is getting swolen again due to the pain on my

right side. The doctor feels it is from the biopsy and wants to

monitor it.

PS would love to chat with anyone
