This is very helpful. Thank you!
I was also diagnosed in December, 2024 and am still waiting for my ALT/AST to stabilize. I'm currently on 20 mg of prednisone and 100 mg
of azathioprine. The enzymes have been fluctuating; they are still not where they need to be, unfortunately, but they are generally trending downwards. Great to hear that you are on 5mgs only! You are definitely on the right path.
My family doctor recommended the shingles vaccine because contracting shingles if you have autoimmune issues is not good. I've been reluctant to get the vaccine because I don't want to add anything that might confuse my immune system any further, but people responding to my post seem to not have had issues, so this is good to hear.
