Haven't been on here for such a long time with having pain apps etc then they have been changed etc etc. Anyway I have started the itch my back is covered red with spots it is so irritating I thought I would go mad. I saw my G.P who proscribed which is an steroid cream for a week then progress to Balneum Plus Cream which takes the itch away. It worked for awhile then went back had to see a different doc who proscribed an anti histamine tablet fantastic it helps so much its called Fexofenadine Hydrochoride tablets. Once I stop the tablets or should say ran out I went back by this time the doc had rang my consultant and he said I may have to change from the Urso Ive been taking but in the mean time to carry on with the anti histamines until I see consultant next month.
I will be interested on any of you have had the say experience or how your itch has developed.
Best Wishes to you all.

Oh how I sympathise with the so called itch of PBC. I was prescribed the anti histamine cetirizine two tablets twice a day which sort of worked for a while and then I was prescribed the fexofenadine but unfortunately I had a bad reaction. I now take cholestyramine, (when that did not fully work) Rifampicin was added (Naltrexone tried but again bad reaction) and lastly 25mg of Sertraline. If it flares then I can take up to 50mg of Sertraline. Currently the remaining "itch" which flares occasionally is tolerable. I try to stick to a diet rich in vegetables, protein, carbs. I avoid sugary foods/drink but when I do indulge then I notice the difference.
