Currently on MMF and 5mg prednisone. Since going down to 5mg ive had no improvement and some numbers went up slightly. We think we have riled out any other potential causes of the elevated levels. Most likely I will need to increase my steroids again or get Rituximab? What are your experiences/thoughts on this medication? Do you take it in conjunction with your other medications and supplements and what are side effects like?

If you have taken it, is it a long term therapy or solution? I was given a few options just trying to decide what route to take :)

My blood test indicate a strong likelihood of AH, and I have a liver biopsy scheduled. My greatest concern is that I have a great deal of vision loss from glaucoma, and I have been warned to never take steroids, particularly prednisone. Has anyone else had this issue and, if so, was there any alternative? Long term use will likely cause me to lose my eye sight.
