They ended doing two liver biopsies in feb and found some scarring, but not too much, which is good. I was also diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and Autoimmune Anemia is feb as well.
The disease is categorized in Rare Diseases. The immune systems starts attacking healthy liver cells and killing them. The problem with that is, there is no cure, there is only treatment. For many years, treatment works, but when you are constantly taking the same meds over and over, your body becomes immune to them, therefore, they stop working, which is basically my case. lol
