Hi cavi

Normally see diff docs each time but I'm under dr. Hertchfield. Seen prof neuburger last time. Had my fibroscan done during a clinical trial. I wish they would just a little more informative during appointments.

Hi all im at 51although not on list.i know that even though you can go at 49 they dont like listing immediately as you can end up sat at the bottom of list with people passing you by.also what im sure is worst still to have to come back off list as you readings have frationally improved.

Im going monthly now to qe as on rifixamin for mild h.enceph.

The consultant said as my bilirubin gets closer to 50 i will get put forward for asessment !

Im struggling i have to say i havent been able to work for 17yrs and the fatigue is pretty awful..

Just want to get on list..also have varices etc etc.best wishes cazer.

P.s. sorry dont know my meld ..i think ukeld includes sodium but that could be wrong.

Sorry I have never hears of a Ukeld score but i know my meld is 19.5 and was told that I have now gone into the fibrosis stage but reading the chart 19.5 is F4 and that indicates cirrhosis but hep said it's fibrosis, so I am as wise as you are. I hope Kimphoebe can find out and let us all know what it is.

Hi all

The trouble is this pbc is different for everyone, it's a bit of a mind field. I will hopefully get some more info on Monday but that depends on which doc I get they not all willing to give to much info.

Not what you're looking for?
