Hi,
Thanks so much for the encouraging response. 1 to 2 years is a long time. Whew! I am at stage 2 fibrosis. I have been reading so many things about the prognosis. It's good to hear that you actually had your liver healed and are off the steroids. I want to come off of them as soon as possible. I do believe God provides healing for the human body in answer to believing in prayer. Thanks, biginagua
Hi,
I also have autoimmune hep. I have had it and the whole liver thing for 4 years now.
With the medications the damage to your liver is no longer progressing it will take at
least 1-2 years to get down to normal on the enzymes. You state you are at stage 2 stage 2 what cirrhosis, fibrosis, or choleangitis? Or all of the above. I have them all plus. I was so sick I was considered for a transplant and asked where I wanted to go
while I was in the hospital not understanding what was going on. Real nice huh? Anyway I have been stable for 2 and 1/2 years and have stage 1 cirrhosis, fibrosis, choleangitis as well. I only take 50mg of Imuran daily and continue to do well. With
this new diognosis stay positive things will work out. Take Care ihbs
