So last week I was told my liver function test had improved I wasn't having blood tests for this reason but guess the doc wanted to check. Good news. So why today do I have a ache Under my Ribs right side, liver I'm presuming. Sometimes quite sharp. Feeling very fatigued today aswell.
Saw a gynaecologist yesterday for help with peri menopause. She called me unique and special. Me being her 2nd patient with pbc in her entire career. I'm certainly very special π. I go to gym 4 times a week. Mainly weights. She told me to go get hot and sweaty for 40 mins cardio only. It's about finished me off. I'm warn out and I normally go for over an hour. Whoops
Hello Louedwards.
Sorry to hear you are under medical care re peri menopause. I am counting myself lucky because I started going through the change myself 3 years ago now where my cycle went erratic. I noticed that the very sore breasts and lower back ache I used to encounter just before that time of the month vanished at some point and my periods did start to become lighter in the last 6 months. I am now hoping that the last one I had start of 2016 was the final one. I have only so far encountered about 4/5 of the hot flushes or 'sweats' as they are also known. I will be 52 in a couple months time.
Unlike yourself I have never gone to a gym, I do a lot of walking and running up and down stairs in my daily life. I find being busy keeps from feeling the itch as I tend to feel prickly if I am still.
I have never really had the itch. Just started to get hot sweats at night. The 40 mins sweaty sessions in gym are suppose to help. To be honest it's hard to no other than my erratic periods, if symptoms are peri menopause or PBC. Since taking urso only diagnosed 1st Dec. Some have gotten better.
She's hoping that in a year I should be done myself.
As much as this peri menopause rubbish is giving me a bit of a hard time. If it wasn't for me persisting with docs for help. The PBC would have gone unnoticed.
So yes in a strange way I'm glad.
What I wouldn't do to be a man at times π
Hello once more Louedwards.
Really glad that yo uhaven't got the itch that PBC can cause and hope that you are never inflicted with it either. The itch was what I took myself to t he GP with back in early 2010 when it never let up for a fortnight. I had to endure it persisting for a further 9mths before I was informed I had PBC and then first few months on urso I thought it felt worse. Over time it has altered and currently it is more acceptable though I'd rather not have it at all.
