Wow, I've learned there are a lot of people out there going through the same thing I am. It's nice to know I am not the only one who feels like a Macy's Thanksgiving balloon because on the medicine. I am just coming to terms with this whole disease. I learned I have autoimmune hepatitis in June of 2007...and it's been a nightmear since. The medicines are working but the side effects are wicked. My family is a huge support system, however I feel they can not understand how I am feeling. So that is why I am here. Anyone care to say hello, please do.
