Hello and Happy Holiday...

We all have the fatigue at one time or another. I get whipped around 1-2pm daily....sometimes I just give in and take a nap. The pain fluctuates from unbearable to tolerable. I have a been taking Evening Primrose Oil now for about 6 or so months. I have pain but I am able to go about my daily routine without just dying off with pain. I seldom have a day that I can't move...I take 2000mg of EPO a day. It helps with pain, mobility, and strength plus my outlook is so much better than it has been in a long time.

I've been diagnosed for 6 years with PA. I've had arthritis longer than six years, but I feel I was misdiagnosed before. I've had p since 1976. So I have learned to live with it and to also listen to what my body tells me. Do what you can and don't beat yourself up with the thoughts of what " I can't do " .

Have a great Christmas. Donna in frozen snowy Mich.

Hello to you too and welcome to our group.

I cannot help with the P because I don't have any indication of that but I do

have PA. I probably have lived with it for about 16 years but was diagnosed

only 6 years ago. I take 20 mg / week MTX by injection but have only had 3

shots so I can't be sure of the results.

As a group we have determined that fatigue is very common and try to treat

ourselves with rest or a nap whenever we feel like it.

My pain seems very minor at this point but I am just coming off about a month

of severe pain and everything seems minor compared to that. Maybe??it's the

MTX beginning to work but I believe it is more from the chiropractic help I

have received over the last week.

I'm glad you've found us. I've only been a member for a few months but have

enjoyed all the discussions with others.

counter.

Sorry to hear about this, Kathy. Yes, you'll find some people in the group who have children with AIH. Ask questions or just talk whenever you wish.

We'll be thinking of you and your family. Best wishes to all of you.

I'm so sorry this happened to your little boy. This group is a wonderful

place to obtain information, find a shoulder to lean on, vent your anger

and/or frustrations, and share good news. There are other mothers that post

here regularly with children that have AIH. Don't hesitate to ask any

questions, usually someone has the answer readily available or has had the

same type of experience, and, if not, someone will go out and do some

research to help find the answers for you.

Welcome, Kathy,

I am so sorry that your little boy is having to deal with this stuff..

it is no fun for an adult, seems so unfair for a little one to have to

go thru it. This group is a great place for information, support,

advice, encouragement. There are other parents of kids with AIH who

post here...I know they will share their experiences with you..

My prayers are with you and your little one...

Hi Kathy,

My son was diagnosed with AIH this past January when he was 11. Thankfully

we have caught it early as his liver biopsy just showed inflammation. It is

hard explaining this disease to him, I can't imagine doing it with a 3 year

old. Is he on medication yet? Have they been treating him all along, or are

they just starting. When they diagnosed Tommy I felt as if my world fell

apart. Thankfully he has been doing well. I am glad that Ronnie has been

feeling well. Hopefully he will stay that way for a long time. Kids bounce

back better than adults. Where do you live? Where is Ronnie being seen? If

there is anything that I can do for you, please just ask me. You are

welcome to call me at 919-570-9058 or e-mail me at

debbiehenry@... if you need a shoulder to cry on. I am just now

starting to recover from the shock of the diagnosis. A part of me is still

in denial that this couldn't happen to my son. Ask around here, I was a

basket case before his liver biopsy LOL. The people here are great! They

will supply whatever information you need and offer lots of shoulders to

vent on. Keep us informed of Ronnie's progress. We want both good and bad.

Again, let me know what I can do for you.

Thank you for your note . I am really concerned since all this is new

to me and I'm my son's biggest advocate since he is only 3 and doesn't

understand any of this stuff that is happening to him. The hepatologist

wants to meet my husband and I this Saturday morning to discuss the " drug

therapy " they want Ronnie to begin. She said the transplant team felt he is

too small to undergo a successful transplant and that they are hopeful that

he will be ready in one year! This is moving too quickly for me! I mean,

Ronnie seems like a healthy, active little three year old! He is small for

his age (27 lbs) but he's always been in the 5th percentile and I figured

his fatigue was due to his red blood cell disease that he was born with

(Pyruvate Kinate Deficiency, aka, hemalytic anemia). So why the big rush to

give him a liver transplant? We are working with a hospital here in

Cleveland, Ohio called University Rainbow Babies and Children's Hosp. The

hepatologist (whom I've met/spoke with only once) told me they have been

doing successful transplants for 20 yrs. We were referred to the hep dr.

following the biopsy that was organized by the gastro dr. Should I feel that

Ronnie is in good hands? I don't know if I should be searching for a second

opinion or not. Whew....thanks for letting me vent. Guess I need to do this

once in awhile now, eh?

Hello Debbie. Thanks for the warm welcome! We live in Mentor, Ohio and

Ronnie was being seen by a GI at Univerity Rainbow Babies and Children's

hospital until all his labs, tests and biopsy confirmed the AIH. The GI then

transferred the case to the hepatologist who works with him at Rainbow.

Ronnie's biopsy showed moderate to severe damage and the hep. dr. wants to

do a living donor transplant on him within the year. My husband and I will

meet with her on Saturday to discuss the meds she wants him to start taking.

This is all really overwhelming/confusing/scary..to say the least. I freaked

about the biopsy too. Ron (my husband) and I both slept with Ronnie at the

hospital following the procedure. We were a wreck - from lack of sleep and

our baby being forced to lie on his right side for 8 hrs straight to prevent

internal bleeding! What a nightmare....and now, to think, that wasn't the

worst thing that is going to happen to him! I went through the denial

stage - I think I'm still there. This can't be happening to my son...we just

learned he has AIH last Thursday. I don't even remember the date. Thanks

again. I'll keep in touch and let you know how he's doing. Your son, Tommy

is doing fine - that's great! What kind of drugs, if any, is he taking? Was

there any talk of his prognosis yet? Will he need a transplant some day or

do the dr's feel the drugs should suppress the disease for now?

Kathy...

My name is Luanne and I have an 18 yr old son with AIH. He also has PSC ( another liver disease..of the bile ducts) Crohns.Rhuematoid Arthritis and Vasculits...along with some spleen problems because of portal hypertension....

Ty was first diagnosed with the Crohns when he was 9...I also have another son...who is now 23 and was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when he was 3.....and back in 81 it was a very rare thing to have such a young child with UC...now it seems to be more and more common....When he was diagnosed at 3 I had no one to talk to and of course then no one had really heard of UC...most people who did have it did not talk about it.....AND there were no computers with internet like now....so I was alone...Friends wanted to be of help but they just did not have a clue what it was like to have a sick child...

It is so wonderful that in this day and age we can get on here and share and learn....It does help in the long run to be able to talk about things with people who know what you are going thru ...or are going thru the same thing....

From what I have read about the difference with children and adults with liver disease...they do try to tx child as soon as possible...because they have so much growing and developing to do...The liver is a very important part of our system which I am sure you already know...with some one who is older it is not as important to push the tx because they have done all their developing....

On the other support board for liver disease there was a family who had a 9 yr old with PSC...he was diagnosed after my son...his labs are not as bad as my sons...but he has already been tx'd...alnost a yr ago...My son Tyler is 18 and is now going thru the tx process...of many meetings and tests....and who knows when he will actually be tx'd. My daughter who is 26 wants to be his live donor...but his doctors are really not pushing for her to go thru all of this....She is healthy but has not started a family yet....We will have to wait and see if he gets sick enough and there is no other choice I guess she will donate...I also have strong feelings about 2 of my babies...they will always be my babies...being in such a surgery at the same time....Not sure if I could handle that....My other son who is 23 would not be able to donate being that he has UC and they frown upon my husband and myself because we are over 50....OUCH....plus I have my own health issues....so we wait and hope he stays ok....This was a rough winter for him...Was in the hosp. most of Jan. Feb and March....remember he has many issues....all auto-immune....He is a senior in HS and our hope is for him to be able to graduate....He has missed so much school and all his college plans our different....He needs to go so we will be able to keep him insured....another thing to have to worry about....so he will be going to the county college for at least a semester....

Ty does take Prednisone along with many other meds....and yes pred does have some side effects...most meds do...but it does do alot for many with many different health problems....it is a tough thing to see a child have to take meds....My kids had never even been on a anti-biodic....Ty never until he got sick at 9....le when she was about 12 for a bladder infectiona and was on some early because he was diagnosed so young....Felt I had done all the right things...and at first I thought for sure I had done something wrong....

Luckily my boys(they have had the same doctors) assured me it had nothing to do with what I did....during or after pregnancy....Isn't it always like a mom to put the blame on herself.....

So now I just do what I can to make things easier for them....Well Ty only because doesn't live at home any more....

Well I have gone on way to long....Sorry for rambling.....

Luanne Ty's mom

write any time and I will help if I can....

Welcome 'None of Your Business'~

I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us and find lots of useful information

and lots of support. This group is a great place for both.

I have to say you are very in tune with your disease and quite articulate

for a 16 year old. I'm sure it's been difficult for you living with

the disease for the past couple of years. I'm sure you have bad days

but you should be very proud of yourself for taking the steps to handle

your disease rather than letting it handle you.

Good luck with your Enbrel ... I've heard it can do wonderful things!!!

Enjoy,

Judy

good job on the work out WTG

I hope Sherri gets her computer working again soon.

The wind has been really bad here too. Don couldn't even work the last 2 days. Did I tell you all that he got a new job doing Construction instead of the dairy farm? It is so nice to know what hours he will be working and when I will get to see him Plus the pay is a lot better. Hopefully this weather will get better so that he can get a full week in next week.

You mean I'm not the only one? I drive Ed crazy because I will only drink

water after it's been sitting a while, which makes our Brita filter perfect

for us. He drinks everything ice cold, straight from the 'fridge. If *I* do

that, not only would my teeth chatter but there better not be any body

Hi Marsha,

Welcome to the group. My name is Lamar. I am 51 years old.

I was originally disagnosed with epilepsy following my first

gran mal seizure. This initial seizure took place several hours

after high school football practice. I was 15 years old. For

34

years, I took prescription drugs for control of my seizures - including

at times Phenobarbital, Dilantin, Tegretol and Lamictal.

However, last year I became drug-free thanks to a clinic called s-Reiter.

This clinic is listed in our Bookmarks section

- along with a lot of other good resources which may be able to help

you. I encourage you to take a serious look at those

resources and send e-mail questions to the respective websites

It was through e-mail to s-Reiter that I began to get the information

I needed to transform my life for the better. Consequently, today

not only am I drug-free but I have achieved a better overall "quality of

life." I have learned the hard way that when it comes to having epilepsy,

you need to look at the "big picture" - not just seizure control.

Sometimes the medication prescribed for epileptics does more than just

reduce seizures. You need to be aware of the adverse side-effects

of your medication.

Once again, welcome...post often...ask questions...and learn.

Knowledge is power. Knowledge properly applied can transform a human

life for the better. That's what eventually happened to me.

Better late than never.

Lamar

Hi Stu, the headaches and nausea are all part of the game unfortunately . I usually get sick for a couple of days after my shot , get a headache that's so bad it makes you sick to your stomach and sometimes even vomit . It just puts me down in bed, can't deal with nothing. I sure don't want to burst your bubble ,and sincerely hope you are right on what your Dr. is saying but when they use the term non responsive it usually means you are not responding to meds. When I did 1st bout with interferon they finally stopped my meds but I was on both interferon and ribavirin and they told me I was non responsive.I would just talk to your Dr. and have him clarify this for you and I hope it's really good. Please let me know ! All the best, Teri
