This may be the case, but if you fell fine why are you having all these tests and taking medications? As far as Prednisone goes, be cautious, long term use can make you have Bloated Moon Face and effect your joints years later if given larger doses for extended time frames! Be cautious!

@bbmayo My liver enzymes have been testing high for a few years now. I have done all the testing, but kept resisting on the biopsy because of the fact that I have absolutely no symptoms. Of course, the doctors have been impressing upon me that NOT having symptoms is not uncommon with liver issues, and sometimes by the time I start feeling sick from it, the disease has progressed. I relented and had the biopsy. Of course, the results came back thatI have AIH. I am not taking the meds yet, but I’m sure that’s where this is going to go. It’s a long holiday weekend in the US (don’t know where you are).
