Members who have been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis, often overlapping with PBC, shared their experiences starting medications and managing symptoms like fatigue, leg cramps, headaches, jaundice, elevated liver enzymes, and occasional itching. Several members described the diagnostic journey, including waiting for biopsy results, tracking ALT and AST levels, and navigating treatment plans that involve combinations of ursodiol, budesonide, and mycophenolate. A recurring theme was the anxiety and hope surrounding definitive diagnosis, the relief of finally starting treatment after uncertainty, and the mutual support members offered through prayers and virtual hugs as they face the challenges of living with overlapping autoimmune liver conditions.
