I have AIH and finished a 4 month treatment of Prednisone, got my liver enzymes back to normal. My gastroenterologist is on maternity leave and I have a complete physical schedule with my GP. Pre-physical blood tests show all of my liver enzyme higher than before I even started treatment. Hi Margaret, I've been told that most people have to stay on meds always to control AIH. It really isn't gone just because the counts go down, that basically means the inflammation is under control. It's good that your body responded well to the prednisone but it sounds like you may need ongoing meds, too. Is there another GI that can help you or is your GP good at liver diseases? It's very frustrating and confusing for sure, especially when you just want to go on with life. Hang in there, hopefully you will get more info from your drs on what's happening to you in particular! We care about you! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Amy, This is in Seattle. My primary is sending me to Dr. Pam Sheets, the rheumatologist. Her first appt opening is Sept 24th but they will put me on the cancellation schedule. I'm glad I got her because you recommended her.

I'm getting discouraged about ever getting her totally trained. I can feel your frustration. I tried to get out of diapers for years. When it didn't seem like it was going to happen I would stop. I also tried every method known to man. Then, the last time I tried it finally connected. I'm not saying that he didn't have accidents. I even think he peed his pants when he was mad at me. I don't have any suggestions to help you, but just know that my son was 11 years old until he got this down. Today, he stays dry all night. He had foot surgery in December and I took out the diapers I still had because he couldn't walk. I put one on and he kept signing he had to go to the bathroom. I told him he had a diaper on and that he could go in the diaper. He kept shaking his head " no " and I had to get him to the toilet. I had a really sore back, but I was proud that he didn't want to return to diapers. I really believed he would never wear underwear. Then, I thought would wear diapers to bed only. After a while, he was dry every morning and I stopped using diapers at night. You just have to keep trying every so often and one day you will be surprised. You're on the right track!!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Thanks for the encouragement, Judy. I get really frustrated, then feel like a bad mom for not having this issue resolved already. Maybe it is just that she is not ready. I guess the most frustrating part is that she was totally potty-trained when she was 4.5 years old, then the bipolar/autism set in and I got to start all over again I'll just keep trying!!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 <<Getting new cabinets sounds nice, but this will do nothing to solve the mold problem unless you solve the water/moisture problem contributing to the mold. >> Yes, I'm hoping to see what's back there-- this wall backs onto the bathroom which was also moldy but was fixed last fall--tiles and tub and floor replaced. It's becoming obvious that I will need a mold-savvy person to inspect back there and do the clean up. <<The tenant liked long hot showers, and didn't use the exhaust fan. Water condensed everywhere, and a lot spilled on the floor. >> We leave the bathroom vent on most of the time, but we still get condensation on the cheap aluminum frame windows in the other rooms. These are supposed to be replaced as part of the sale. (Buying will not cost any additional money at this stage, it's all funded from elsewhere, so it doesn't put me at any greater risk, in fact gives me access to more resources for fixing things.) Thanks for the advice, but I still want to see if this can be salvaged. I am extremely poor and this is secure housing at way below market, with a large outside fund available for repairs.
