Guest guest Posted December 26, 2001 Report Share Posted December 26, 2001 BERT THE BIOPSY IS JUST A DAY PROCEDURE. NO CUTS, JUST A NEEDLE OR SOME KIND OF INSTRUMENT THAT IS ABLE TO SNIP A PIECE OF THE LIVER. THEY CAN EITHER PUT YOU OUT OR NUMB YOU. AT LEAST THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER IT. SOME MAY DIFFER.

Only the good doctor will know! Good luck with your scan. I hope they find something. HI DEBBY,I DON'T KNOW EITHER...NOT THAT I AM ITCHING TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL, OR TO BE CUT, BUT I DO THINK I SHOULD HAVE THE BIOPSY; IF JUST TO RULE OUT AIH AT LEAST.I WOULD VERY MUCH LOVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF NORMALICY IN MY LIFE.....I AM GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. NOT SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE, BUT ENOUGH FOR ME TO KNOW.I AM STILL VERY WEAK AND TIRED. THESE MEDS KEEP ME DOPEY....(SPACE CADET, LOL!) YOU SHOULD BE HERE TO SEE ALL THE TYPOS I DO...LOL. THANK GOODNESS FOR SPELL CHECK HA!WELL, I AM HOPING THE SCAN WILL FIND WHATEVER THIS IS ON MY SIDE. (STILL THE LEFT)YOU TAKE CARE,HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!!!HUGS.... **HAPPY**HOLIDAYS** **AND WARM HUGS** Bert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first few hours after taking it, I am jumpy and feel like I can "feel" my blood pumping through my veins. The feeling continues throughout the day off and on. Sometimes the jumpiness gets so bad that I just walk around and around! But by night, it is all better, then in the AM, I start it all again. Overall, I am OK though. debby YES ME TOO!!! BUT I THINK THE OTHER COMBO'S OF MY MEDS. ARE BRINGING THE PRED. (20MG FOR ME TOO) EFFECT DOWN. HA1 LIKE I SAID BEFORE...."I AM A GUINEA PIG UNDER CONSTRUCTION" LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Well, in my case, it certainly makes sense. All of my stiff joints, unknown fevers, unknown illnesses...everything...it just is totally crazy for me...but now it all makes sense! I am just grateful the doctors finally "discovered" that I indeed am NOT crazy! debby Re: [ ] DEBBY In a message dated 12/31/01 10:12:27 PM Pacific Standard Time, tdcc2000@... writes: be sure to ask about Celiac Sprue too...many of the symptoms overlap AIH too....wouldn't wish it on anyone, but at least ask...debbyI've read that people with AIH are ten times more likely to have celiac sprue than the general population is.
