In this expert session, Nicole Scott, M.D. (Indiana University School of Medicine), discusses how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can overlap with AIH symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. She also explores the diagnostic challenges and treatment considerations for patients navigating both menopause and autoimmune liver disease.

📚 AIHA Book Club 📚

Our next AIHA Book Club meeting is coming up on June 9 at 6 p.m. ET, and we’ll be revisiting our last book selection.

The Healing Power of Storytelling: Using Personal Narrative to Navigate Illness, Trauma, and Loss by Annie Brewster, M.D.

We are revisiting this book because the conversations and reflections it inspires are so powerful for our community.

In the book, Dr. Brewster highlights research showing that sharing personal illness stories can reduce feelings of isolation and help people integrate their diagnosis into their identity, creating stronger connections with others who understand their experiences.

Studies on expressive writing and storytelling also suggest that writing about difficult health experiences can improve psychological well-being and even support physical health outcomes, making storytelling a meaningful tool for healing.

If you’re planning to join, be sure to make time not only to read the book, but also to complete the writing prompts and activities throughout. These exercises are a key part of the experience and will help deepen our discussion.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening of reflection, storytelling, and connection. 💙
