Newly diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis and PCS

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I was just diagnosed a month ago with autoimmune overlap which means I

have both autoimmune hepatitis and PSC. I am 33 years old and have 5

year old twins and a 20 month old. I have been trying to process all

this information and I have so many questions so I was hoping some of

you could help me.

My biggest question is from what I read on the internet most people

with PSC need a liver transplant within 10-12 years of being diagnosed

with it. Is this true?

My doctor put me on prednisone and immuran and my liver enzyme levels

are going down, but I'm not sure if it's helping with the PSC. I've

read about Actigall and wondered if you all would recommend it to help

with PSC.

Have anyone been doing alternative medicine along with medicinal. Such

as liver cleanses? master cleanse? acupuncture? Has this helped

anyone? Any suggestions?

Also, how is everyone's cholesterol levels. Mine are in the 400's and

they say it's from the liver? I eat very well and exercise so it isn't

that.

Thanks for listening!
