Thanks for the info. I was diagnosed with a liver biopsy. Already have 3 autoimmune conditions. Taken pred for 7 years. Highest dose was 30 mg. Been on just 1mg past 2 years. Can’t go that route again and gave already had skin cancer. Seems the cure is worse than the condition in some cases.

How bad are your liver enzymes? And what were the results of your biopsy? Mine was only mild fibrosis, so fully recoverable.

Whether the cure is worse than the condition depends a lot of how bad your liver already is. There's a FB group support group for AIH and multiple members have needed liver transplants, some very quickly after dx. I would also prefer to not take the meds (there is no cure), but don't want to risk a liver transplant.
