Hello! I was recently diagnosed with Drug-Induced Autoimmune Hepatitis. I took minocycline on and off for about 2 years for acne and that's what has caused this. I've been on corticosteroids (first methylprednisolone, now budesonide) for two months which have caused some very uncomfortable side effects. My doctor is currently running bloodwork to see if I can take azathioprine. I’m scared about this disease progressing and damaging my liver more and I'm struggling with depression. I looked for a support group in my city and there are none. If anyone else who has this is willing to talk please message me. Thank you.
