Hi there I take it you meant does anyones head itch? if so then yes I have had PBC for almost 14yrs and the dreaded itch that some people get. I itch absolutely everywhere on my body.

Hi yes sorry

Hello jhewkin1.

Yes I started itching in early 2010. I was 45 at the time, 46 at diagnosis Dec 2010. The itch used to be all over the body.

After taking urso the itch has slowly altered and it seems to be troublesome at night. On a bad night I can be awake for hours due to feeling the itch. It's not confined to a certain area when I go to bed. I tend to find it has by that time reached my feet/toes and also feel it on my legs below knees, even in the groin area at night. When I start feeling prickly early evening, it is generally on my arms to my elbows and I also feel it on my back. I have found wearing bras annoying at times. Yes my head itches too, on top usually. Sometimes I find I get the itch in my hands and fingers but that's not every day.

I find it worse when I am sat down or resting.

I think it is more than likely why I won't put weight on, I use energy fidgeting about in the night due to feeling the itch.

Hi JHewkin, Strangely the only place that I itch is the scalp area towards my neck. I suppose I should be thankful it isn't more widespread.
