I'm a young 27 year old wife/mother of two, who was just diagnosed two months ago with autoimmune hepatitis of the liver. I couldn't believe it. I went to emergency room feeling bad in my body and extremely tired for bout a week or two. I never thought I wasn't coming out. I stayed in hospital for two weeks straight before the doctos and specialist could actually pinpoint the problem. I was Yellow from jaundice, my levels were sky high. My liver was failing and scarred. I had no appetite, vomiting everyday, etc.... now I'm taking Prednisone and imuran which the side effects are horrible
