Not writing much...waiting for diagnosis

[Guest guest]

Hi All! I am like ...I am waiting to find out if I have AIH.

I've been dealing with this for a year and have had two biopsys and I am

ana postive 1:80 and have the joint, muscle, bone pain. Sometimes it is

sharp shooting pain that doesn't last very long. Does this sound

familiar to anyone. I have a friend that tells me that I could just be

experiencing the aging process. I just turned 30!

I was quite shocked when I was denied for life insurance because I have

always tried to take very good care of myself.

I have three children and teach preschool I've been quite busy and am

lucky that I don't feel bad until the evening. I am worried that the

prednisone will make me grouchy! Boy that is all I need with 9

preschoolers!

Well, Dr. wants more blood tests to go along with the recent biopsy to

send to OHSU in Portland, Oregon. He is not convinced that I have AIH.

Biopsy said I have portal inflamation? Any comments out there on this?

Thank you all for your information. My prayers and thoughts are with

you all.
