I was also diagnosed autoimmune hepatitis Jan 2024. I'm on Cellcept. From what I've been told Cellcept is one of the better meds without TOO many side effects. I did go through several months of migraines, which did subside, and my hair is thinning. My feet, ankles do swell, and I get bloated, although I think that has to do with the liver, like severe itching (only at night). In spite of side effects, I have to say my blood work has been good so I work through it. The dark urine and jaundice is gone. The pharmacist said a lot of these side effects lessen as your body adjusts to meds. I hope so.

@maize I was diagnosed November 2023. I had and have the same side effects/symptoms. The migraines did finally subside, dark urine and jaundice gone. My dosage was reduced from 360 2x daily to 180 2x. Still get swollen ankles and bloated and itching, oh the itching at night. I think my hair thinning almost bothers me the most. I'm having less side effects on lower dosage especially not nauseas all the time. My levels are good, but if my blood work goes up then I'll have to go back to higher dose. As my dad used to say, "you have to live with acceptance." I'm trying.
