I am having severe liver pain again. I have Autoimmune Hep and I have been having bad pain again for the last 3 days. I am on pain meds, oxycodone & mscontin. It is just really bad. My doctor told me to call him if it got really bad this weekend. I don't want to go back into the hospital again. I'm just frustrated with this. All my liver funtions have been normal lately as well. Any advice? Thanks, TIna

I don't know much about the autoimmune hep, but I do know what it is like to hurt all the time. What do they do when you go to the hospital?It sounds like you have an understanding doc.I wish there was something I could do to help.Pain is a very hard thing to deal with. Good luck, you will be in my thoughts!

When I'm in hte hospital they give morphine through IV. It does help, but I hate being in htere. I did end up calling my doctor yesterday. He wanted me to go in, But asked for something at home If possible. He upped my Prednisone back up to 20mg to see if that helps. So far the pain is down a bit. I go see him today again. Thanks, Tina

Clyde, welcome to the board. I have an illness where my immune system is attacking my liver. I am on immune suppressive meds to keep my immune down so it doesn't attack to much. So far it's doing OK. I've been living with this for almost 1 year now. It can be hell. We are here for you.
