I was diagnosed with Autoimmune hepatitis in the beginning of 2024 and by Aug 2024, was started on Azathioprine & Budesonide because I declined Prednisone, I didn't want to gain more weight. After 2 weeks I couldn't stand the pain it was causing me, then they tried me on each medication seperately and a month later same thing happened. Then I was tried on Mercaptopurine and I had the same issue. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and have Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism. At the moment I am on Cellcept and it seems to be working only issue is it's causing me water retention and have to take Furosemide.

OMG, so sorry.
I think the cure is worse than the disease sometimes. Dr google says a person can live 10-15 years without treatment. Even with cirrhosis 5-10. I’ll take a pass on those drugs. Thanks for the info.

So AZA was causing you pain or budesonide? What kind of pain?
