Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Gregg, Thanks for responding. You're so right. It's been a long, sick 2 yrs. I am now well enough to fight for myself so I'm not going to go back to her. I feel like such a jerk because they say nothings wrong with me and I can hardly walk around. Thanks for your concern. In my area Hepatologists are hard to come by and so are GI's that specialize in AIH. cherry Re: [ ] Help Hi, I think you surely should get another GI. there is something wrong if they only want to see you once a year. You need to be monitored more frequently. my GI sees me every 3 months now that my condition is stable. He saw me a lot more when I was first diagnosed.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 Cherry, my name is Judy,Pens.Fl. I have AIH and just noticed some minor brain fog. My ammonia level was checked & was elevated. I was placed on Lactulose.I go in 2 weeks to have it rechecked. This is not something to take lightly & if your Dr. is change Drs. Its your life and you must insist that this be addressed. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2001 Report Share Posted July 6, 2001 There are a few possible answers to explain your results. Depending on if your C is recent infection,maybe viral count,if non-detectable is too low to measure. Is also possible you were false positive to begin with. RIBA test should be done to determine. Also from what I have learned TMA test is most accurate test for viral count. It is possible you did have C and got rid of virus on your own. I had Hep B & C and carry antibodies for B and 3 non-detect test on C. Have never done conventional med's , but alternatives. Am waiting for results from TMA test which takes 80 days to replicate the virus,if it is still alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
