I hope this helps. Always make sure it doesn't intereact negatively with any other medications you take.

Hi I have been diagnosed with PBC for 11 years, I take Urso and Obeti. I take an evening primrose oil capsule every day and have done for about 30 years, didn’t realise it had been that long! I started the evening primrose to help breast cysts which I was getting regularly (always getting them checked out with specialists). The evening primrose oil helped me. I haven’t explicitly asked about interactions with my other meds but have mentioned I take evening primrose in consultations and not been told to stop, this is no guarantee of course. I would ask your consultant and try it to see if it helps if they say it’s ok. Good luck.

Awh that's great thanx Cleudo. I'm going to tske them I think. I took them years ago for a similar breast pain and they seemed to help. I know it takes a while but will try anything. The breast specialist thinks it's coming more from the chest wall and the mammogram was all clear. I am menopause age so could just be weird pain! Thanx again
