Long story cut short, just lost long post as took too long to type, and MN gremlins got it .It looks like i will now be starting treatment after a long spell of 'wait and see' for AIH. I've been reading up a bit and have various questions.
It looks like tx of choice is combination of oral steroids and azathioprine, but has anyone had only azathioprine? I am freaked out, more than somewhat, for long complicated reasons I had expressed in original post, at thought of s/e of steroids. I want to request tx with azathioprine only (ironically the s/effects freak me out less, though none of it is exactly happy reading).
Apart from the obvious vicious circle of S/effects being similar to disease symptoms (nausea and massive fatigue, as well as wonky blood results, are my main symptoms) does anyone actually feel better physically with treatment?
