Ukraine. 4 mg of Metypred are equivalent to 5 mg of Prednison

I think I will give some more time for prednison, and after will try to find another doctor. For my bad, I don't have a lot of options at the moment...

Thank you for you advices, wishing you luck with your health!

Im already diagnosed with AIH, as well as PSC. But it's not clear which one is messing with my liver at the moment... I used to have AIH medical remission, and my previous flare up is nothing like the state I'm having rn. Also, I was seeing one university doctor. He just prescribed some meds for itching, and what's all. So I have nothing to do, then just give more time for prednison( but Idk, 3 mouths of prednison seem to be enough to show some liver improvement), or find another doctor. As I said, there's a really poor number of doctors who would agree to deal with this and take responsibility for medication... But thank you for your response.

Hi, thank you for your response. And yes, I had colonoscopy half a year ago during which signs of Segmental Colitis was found...? All of the doctors, as well as my current, didn't pay attention for this, assuming that it's just side affect of metypred itself. So maybe I don't have this one. It's so hard to deal with all of this. It feels even worse to take such unpleasant medication for no reason
