immunology

[Guest guest]

Dear Jackie,

The immunologist helped me a lot. I began injections for cat, dust, tree

pollen, grass pollen and mold. Over the eight years that I took them I

became 30% less affected by cat dander and now I have my three fluffy

ragamuffin cats to keep me company! I just avoid walking in grass

barefoot and I do OK.

When it is wet outside I am affected by it a little because there is

more mold in the air. I do not humidify my house, to keep dust mites at

bay. They require 50% humidity to thrive.

The immunologist helped me a lot when I had an asthma attack two years

ago (because I decided I didn't want to take the meds anymore-stupid). I

am doing great now even tho I have AIH. I look like a normal person, no

one can tell.

Hi, i havn`t posted for a while, mainly due to ill health. I have

recently been to see an immunologist, as i suffer alot of allergies

etc. I am hoping and praying the doctor will be able to help. I was

wondering if anyone here has ever been to see an immunologist, and if

so, how they got on. I`m a little worried that on the day i went to

see him, i didn`t feel too bad health wise, and i`m hoping things

will still show up in the blood tests he took. I have tried many

alternative therapies, as i havn`t got anywhere with doctors so far.

I`m on prednisolone for aih, but this hasn`t helped my symptoms much

at all.Any advise would be greatly appreciated. love, light and

peace. jackie

dear . thanks for replying to my message. I was relieved to hear that you had good results, it has gave me a bit more hope of being helped myself. I don`t go back to see him until february, but he said he would write to me and my doctor, so hopefully i might get to know the results sooner. It must be great to feel normal again and to be able to have cats as pets, after being allergic to them must be wonderful. I`m keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again. Love, light and peace. jackie

Thanks Jackie!

I have to tell my immunologist that I have

AIH. He does not know. He is in New Orleans and I am now in Chicago. I like him but it is possible that Allegra,

the allergy med he prescribed may have set off the AIH. My hepatologist

says that I had the condition for one year before she diagnosed me. I was

predisposed to it and medications such as Allegra and

Modicon may have been the last straw for my system.

I must continue Advair

and Flonase for asthma, but I can do without the Allegra and Modicon.

I have to let him know I am doing fine. He

will be surprised by this diagnosis.

Immunologists treat allergies and

sometimes asthma.

Best wishes,

My GI doc gave me a prescription for Allegra and if this is bad pleas let me know this would explain why they can't get me into remission.

Dear ,

My doctors aren’t sure if taking me

off Allegra was part of the key to throwing me into

remission. I do know that my LFT’s came down

after I stopped taking Modicon and Allegra. I was not taking any prednisone or Imuran at this time, just being observed for three months.

I had normal LFT’s

prior to taking Allegra, and had been on Modicon for 10 years. They believe AIH developed latently

one year prior to diagnosis, just about the time when I started Allegra 180 in New Orleans.

After three months of observation and

being taken off these meds, AIH finally manifested itself although it had been

present for approximately one year. My LFT’s

shot up rapidly after coming down to the hundreds range and the decision was

made to biopsy and treat with prednisone and Imuran

immediately.

So, I can’t be sure if Allegra is part of the problem.

My biopsy was sent to Mayo for further

interpretation and they felt that the AIH was drug induced. But which drug? I

will go up there for a consult with Dr. Czaja in

February to pin down the cause.

Good Luck and hope you feel better!
