Suppose to have a biopsy done tis month but dont really see the need if im responding well to the medication(all numbers are in normal range)
Im wondering why your energy levels are still down if you are in remissinion and off the meds.

My doc theorizes that my condition may have been brought on by in part, some over the counter supplements and vitimins combined with stress and over working out.
Any thoughts?
p,s im at the point where i think i should be off at least the pred. because my blood work has been in normal range for several months now. How long were you in "normal" range before you were taking off the pred? (im still on 10 mg)

My question to you is- how long were you in drug induced remission before they took you off the drugs, and did they do a biopsy to confirm before taking you off drugs?
thx.....JamesView Thread

i feel your pain. i was diagnosed with AIH in Oct of 2012.
Had to go to the Mayo clinic in JAX before I could get any real answeres and proper diagnosis. Been on combo of pregnisone and imuron and have responded very well.
