Hello,
Reading carefully what you wrote, I m understanding that you feel bit better, but not totally recovered. Well that's a positive sign :). I can't say precisely when it will go away cause it depends. It depends from your immunity system, but not only. Usually symptoms stay around 2 months, but sometimes can continue for 6-9 months. I suggest you to have patience and respect the diet till the sgpt and billirubin will normalize.
Take care of yourself!
Best regards, xxxxxx
