Sorry, Loth. I didn't completely answer your question. It's auto-immune Hepatitus. I apologize if I'm repeating myself at this point.
When you have any kind of auto-immune disorder...no matter what organ, your body has decided that it is failing and it tries to react by killing it. Well, that doesn't work so well. Very simple things can trigger it.
The problem with auto-immune Hepatitus is that it takes 10 days to get the first results. Most docs think it's just Hep a/because...whatever. But when it comes back negative, they do a second test, hence another 10 days, maybe a 3rd test. In the meantime, you are rapidly failing. Thirty days is generally the earmark.
So when my daughter called me and told me the symptoms I just cried and frantically asked her to speak with her friend's family, etc. It's just one of those medical things that is not well known. They eventually 'get it', but unfortunately getting it is too late, as with this girl.
Very sad.
