Well as I mentioned I have fibromyalgia and have yet to find any relief from the pain although I stay as active as possible and I sleep about 3-4 hours a night. I had Lupus about 26 yrs ago and misdiagnosed until 2004 then Hydroxychloroquine helped. Then came fibromyalgia but meds don't work for me. So when I was diagnosed with AIH meds made my belly swell and the pain was widespread aching and I could barely move due to Azathioprine and Budesonide, then they tried them seperately and same thing happened. With Cellcept my numbers are usually pretty good once in awhile they go a bit higher then normal but the belly still swells and I have water retention. If I skip a couple of doses when I am feeling ill the belly goes down almost flat, that is my only complaint.
