I'm New! What affects "your" Symptoms?
by allnatural, Jul 15, 2008 03:36PM
I was diagnosed with AIH a year ago. Have spent time trying to figure out what affects symptoms. Thus far I know stress, red meat and sugar have a bad affect on my AIH. Has anyone else done any research on things that can help or hender this disease? Do you notice what things make you worse, or anything that helps you feel better. When I was diagnosed my liver never hurt, they put me on 50mg of Imuran and my liver hurts all the time. I cut the dose three months ago and the pain lessened. I was told to stop taking the Imuran today and see what happens. My hope is to try and figure out what I can do to help my success and what not do to cause relapse. I eat organic, and I have homemade juice daily. I was raised that your body will take care of itself, so this has been quite an interesting experience for me. Any help, suggestions, or support in my efforts would be greatly welcomed. Does anyone know of any good books or info sites that might help in my plight?
