Auto Immune Hepatitis

[Guest guest]

Hi

Now that I've had a few replies to my initial post I have spoken to my

gastro dr via email a couple of times today and I'm going to have the

liver biopsy. It can be done under the private health system so I will

be doing that. I won't be on steroids but I will be on Azathioprine

(also known as Azasan or Imuran). Obviously I will only be on the

drugs if it is confirmed that I have AIH. Now all I have to do is try

and block out the pain of the biopsy. Thanks to those that replied, I

don't think I would have had it done otherwise. Now, I need someone to

talk me into having a colonoscopy! Nah, don't worry about it, I will

save that for next year.

Cheers
