What the Heck is Going ON.

Hi! Pleased to meet you all. There are quite a few things I have experienced that could have caused my A.I.H. Of the Liver.

The thing is I keeped going to the G.P saying I am so tired all the time.  Oh! It is the tablets I was told.  I just got worse as I could never get an appointment to see anyone.

In the end I insisted and when the blood test came back I was called in to see the Doctor with my results.  A raging temperature only a quarter of my liver active. Given 3 lots of antibiotics to get my temperature down.

I was given 50mg of steroids for months and now on 5mg.The side effects of the steroids was something else. But my liver is now O.K. But I am still soooo tired.

The specialist suspected my thyrode activity at the beginning, so

now we are investigating my thyroid and why my antibodies turned against me. I was on  175mg now on  200mg. Getting better slowly I hope.   It is good to know people care. I will go on trying my best and be positive. Knowing what is going on helps.

There is help out there with determination to help us, so that is why I am now thinking positive.

Thank you, Anne
