Guest guest Posted May 17, 1999 Report Share Posted May 17, 1999 Hi Mable, I know what you mean about the 'supposedly' grown kids. I have two of my own and we can't get them out of the house. They're single 25 and 26 years old - no children. How interesting that AIH was called CALD back in the 1980's. I wonder - do they rename it every so often? It doesn't seem to me that they know much more about it today than they did when I got sick in 1994. I was diagnosed by the process of elimination. In other words, I didn't have anything else. It must be very difficult trying to cope with AIH and Diabetes. How often do you go for labs? I'm post transplant and have to go every 3 or 4 months, and I don't like it at all. It's great that you've been able to be off the Prednisone for that long, --- Barbara Ann AIH transplant recipient On Sun, 16 May 1999 19:28:45 mable wrote: >From: mable@... > > >Hello everyone,I have been around a couple weeks now.
