Hi Snoozy I know how u feel I'm in Melbourne and so frustrated with how little people know nor understand 
Hi. I live in Sydney too and was only diagnosed on 29/4/13. Haven't been told about any support groups in Sydney so this site is absolutely invaluable. Feel like I have learnt so much here already. I do have a lovely gastro though that is very understanding and knowledgeable.....as much as you can be with this unpredictable illness.

Hey I'm in melbourne
hi im ann from dublin ireland
Hi Ann, I am in Dublin too. How are you getting on with PBC?? Hope you are doing well.
hi, your the only person iv come across from ireland let alone dublin, and im on lodes of pbc sites, im not to bad since iv given up work couldnt do it any more, i find the joint and musle pain the worst, dont have much of the itch thank god, how are you, do you know of any groups that have chats ect. about pbc
Hi Ann, Nice to hear from you. My doc in Artane says he has me and one other patient with PBC. As you know its quite rare. Some days I have problems with everything. Tiredness, pain in joints as well as liver area and of course the dreaded itch. I was told to give up work as an employer would not be insured if anything were to happen due to PBC. No I dont know of any other groups that speak of PBC. In fact everyone I know has never heard of it as I hadnt before I was diagnosed. Keep well Ann. Up the Dubs!
Hiya Bobbyholly321
As I said to Ann, there, I'm from Co Down, Northern Ireland and I haven't come across anyone else from NI so its nice to 'meet' others from Ireland. I had to give up work due to other conditions, asthma, arthritis, depression, fibromyalgia, hiatis hernia, migraine, raynauds, sciatica, scleroderma, sjogren's, etc, so I've been unable to work for ages. While they were treating me for all that lot they discovered I had PBC, too. As you say, most people haven't even heard of it. Well, stay well, all the best, (
Hi girls lost of us in Dublin surround areas! I'm in Kildare! Support meeting in brooks hotel Dublin city centre once a month. Message back for more info. Grainne
Hi Ann
I'm from Co Down, in Northern Ireland. Haven't found anyone else yet from NI but its good to meet other people from Ireland. I've had PBC for about 6years. I was diagnosed in a July and my sister was diagnosed in the November of the same year. I'd never heard of this before I took it. The PBC Foundation in Edinburgh have been very helpful. I got a great book from them, entitled, 'Living with PBC' and its been very useful indeed. All the Best, Mags (
Hi Anne, Hope you are doing well. It sounds like you have some of the same conditions as me. Mine include...Asthma, Stomach Ulcers, Post herpital nueralgia (had shingles on my face 3 time) Arthritis in my neck, depression, Anxiety attacks and of course PBC. It was while doing tests for my other problems the doctors in the hospital discovered I had PBC. I just thought the pains in my hands at the time were writers cramp haha. I just had more blood tests done last week and the results were that my PBC is still the same, no better no worse. So I suppose thats kinda good. So far I am the only one in family to have this condition. I hope it stays that way as I wouldnt wish it on anyone. Yes, its lovely to hear from other people in Ireland. Stay well Anne and pass my best wishes on to your sister too. Take care...Yvonne X
Hi, Ann.
Have you joined the Foundation, yet? We do have extensive membership all around Ireland.
Yours,
Robert.

However I was born in Stoke-one-Trent. I mention this as I know some of the studies on PBC have indicated that there is a regional variation in its incidence.

Dear Robert,
I am from Germany and am already a longtime member of this group.
I also am a member of the American PBC group, noch groups I share since my diagnosed PBC in 2003.
Currently I am doing very well thanks to combined medication: Ursodeoxycholacid, Budesonid low-dose and Bezafibrat.
I learned a lot sharing your group and the American PBC group. Thank you indeed so much for giving us this opportunity, it is more information than you can ever get from your doctors.
Take care of yourself as you are precious to us!
