Thank you for your response! I'm pretty newly diagnosed so just trying to accumulate as much info as I can re: people having lived expeience with it. I know doctors always rush to the pharmaceutical approach, but I always wonder about other approaches that may be effective and are more natural.

I'm currently on a low dose of prednisone and my doctor just added Imuran early January, and I have my follow-up mid-February.

I'm definitely noticing fatigue once I started on the Imuran. Did you experience this on Imuran? Prior to that it was insomnia with the prednisone.

I've seen differences in enzymes in a very short time, even just with the prednisone and hope this continues as, ideally, I would like to take the natural approach re: diet and lifestyle once my enzymes are stabilized, so was curious if others had accomplished this.

Really appreciate your insight and info!

That’s interesting…. Firstly because you’re on a plant based diet. Because my Hepatologist told me to stay away from plant based things because the liver has a hard time digesting them.

I was also put on Imuran initially but I had a nasty side effect where I was having suicidal thoughts to the point I took a steak knife at supper one night and told everyone as I ran it across my wrist how I’d love to just slice it open right now…. It was nuts 🥜!!!

I tried one other anti-rejection medication but idk why they don’t work on me. Literally nothing changed. So I’ve been on Chemo for the last 9 years. Which brings its own set of problems…I now have neuropathy in both feet and hands because of it. But I can’t get off it or I’ll eventually die from the hepatitis so… 🤷🏻‍♀️
