Happy Pride Month from the Autoimmune Hepatitis Association! 🌈

This month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. We recognize that every person's healthcare journey is unique, and we are committed to fostering a community where everyone feels seen, respected, supported, and valued.

Living with autoimmune hepatitis can bring challenges, and no one should face them alone. We believe that inclusive, affirming care and supportive communities help individuals thrive, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, ability, or background.

To our LGBTQ+ patients, caregivers, families, advocates, healthcare professionals, and supporters: thank you for being part of our community. Your voices, experiences, and contributions make us stronger.

This Pride Month and every month, we stand for compassion, inclusion, dignity, and equitable access to care for all.

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈💜

🩺 We’ve updated our Preferred Doctors page! 🩺

Patients frequently tell us that finding a physician experienced in treating autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) can be challenging. That’s why we created the AIH Patient-Preferred Doctor List, to help newly diagnosed patients and those seeking better disease control connect with physicians who have earned strong recommendations from members of our community.

We’ve also taken extra steps to review and verify each listing, confirming details like location and that providers are still actively practicing, so you can search with more confidence.

🔗Explore the updated list here: https://aihep.org/preferred-doctors/

Know a great doctor we should include? Let us know! Your input helps others in the AIH community. You can submit your physician's name at the bottom of this page: https://aihep.org/preferred-doctors/

Did you see our latest blog post? It is part of our "Fatigue in AIH" blog series.

Fatigue is one of the most common and most frustrating symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Even when labs look “normal,” many people still feel completely drained.

Why does this happen?

The answer isn’t always simple. Fatigue in AIH can be caused by a mix of factors like ongoing immune activity, medications, sleep issues, mental health, and even other underlying conditions.

Understanding the why behind your fatigue is an important step toward managing it and having better conversations with your doctor.
