GOOD LUCK

All blood work is fine. My igg is low. The dr said that it’s probably my normal. I have no inflammation and I have no liver scarring. He’s going to order a fibroscan next year. From there he will decide if he wants me to have another biopsy. But he’s very pleased. He said that if I can’t deal with the weight that I gained and my poofy face that he would take me off the prednisone. I decided that I would rather have health and raise my 10 year old. I haven’t gained weight in over a month but I will remain on 10 mgs of prednisone and 50 mgs of AZA and 1000 mgs of urso. My husband agreed that we should care more about my health. I can change the prednisone at anytime in the future. I have autoimmune hepatitis and I have pbc. It’s so far only in my blood thanks to fast acting doctors and a member who advised me to see a liver dr and not a GI.

I get sternum pain that I can feel in my mid back... and nausea. But that can be gastritis too.

My Amylase came back normal. My lipase stays too low.??? They don't know. Just keeping an eye on things for now. Really watching what I eat.

I get all kinds of upper quad pain. I really don’t know what’s hurting and why. I have to work harder on my diet.

I hear you. I don’t have a lot of pain but when I do I think, what have I done now☹️

in reply to Sachin1234

For me I am assuming that it’s my pancreas because I google the area that’s hurting.
