Thanks for your response - I had a liver biopsy last December and it said as I previously had hep B & C that the inflammation could be due to this - also questioned whether I had 'overlap syndrome' and suggested a second opinion be sought. It said 'suggestive of AIH' but this was based more on the info the drs had sent. I'm told the second opinion confirmed AIH but I've not seen this document for myself. I just don't trust the judgement of the doctors involved in making the diagnosis because they were really awful and told me a few things that later turned out not to be true.
