@hola2u Thanks for sharing your AIH journey! Like you, after testing in my case, they determined I wasn't metabolizing AZA properly so they switched me to Myfortic, and my enzymes normalized quickly. Fortunately, they switched me about 10 months into AZA treatment.
I'm curious if you have any cirrhosis/fibrosis? Also, other than the osteoporosis, did you notice any other long term effects of being on prednisone for 4 years?
I also recently started on risedronate as a preventative for bone loss. I'm down to 5 mg of prednisone now and hope to be off it completely in the next couple of months if all continues to go well.
