It does take a little time with azathioprine I was on it alongside with budesonide. After coming off Prednisone. Took about a month for enzymes to come down. Then I had a strange side effect where all my muscles were stiff, felt awful, enough where I quit taking it. Now I'm on 2000mg of mycophenolate. It's working took a little time too. Way better than the steroids, but has its side effects too... Just my input AIH is frustrating Its a mental battle too. Mayo has been amazing

Thank you so much for sharing. Yes, AIH is frustrating and a constant mental battle. I appreciate your input with your experience.

What side affects are you experiencing with Mycophenolate? I am on it too but have to take Furosemide because of possible ascites, I have an upcoming dr's appt next week to see if that is the case.
