I am having a horrible time dealing with brain fog.... memory and fatigue gets so bad it slows me down and after 24 years at my job I'm not meeting my calls per hour so will be "letting me go."

I don't know how long I had PBC but biopsy was in 2013 which is when I started taking URSO. My daughter is 30 and she said all her life I complained my back itched

You just tell them you fall asleep and itch badly , the liver is a main organ

I understand hun..my body is telling me I should retire but I need to pay my rent, so I keep on. I have just worked a couple of shifts, I am triple exhausted, and I hurt from head to toe. I also have been told that I have osteoarthritis in my ankles feet, toes and in many other of my joints. So standing long periods is not helping...I need to get another job but, don't want to retire just yet. X

On SSI you usually have to wait but it’s all back pay from when you applied than you get a monthly check
