aih and hiatus hernia

[Pbe58]

Long post sorry. I have two autoimmune conditions (don’t think any more ) I take 75mg thyroxine for hypo thyroid diagnosed 8 years ago. Now diagnosed (6months ago) aih take aza 50mg and now after starting in 60mg pred I am taking 5mg. I have high cholesterol no matter what my diet so take statins. I have seen my consultant recently mu fubriscan was 14.6 kpa no cirrhosis so hopefully just inflammation. My liver biopsy diagnosed definitely aih. On exam I have enlarged spleen unsure why? I also had upper gastric pain even though on 30mg lanzaprazole daily and of course my adcal. (Yes I do rattle) . He decided to send me for gastroscopy I have hiatus hernia and ? Barrett’s oesophagus they have taken biopsies and I have not heard anything yet. 🙏. My question eventually is this all Connected? I am again now feeling extremely tired . I am back at work but by mid afternoon can’t function. . Should I request bloods again (all normal beginning of may) . Sorry for long post just feel really down with all this and I don’t like to talk to family as I feel I am moaning all the time .
