I have degenerative discs in my neck and some fussion at the base of my spine along with erosion in my left hip.

I have read that some people take a calcium supplement

I am awating my follow up appointment and want to go fully armed.

When I was diagnosed I thought the appointment was for my gallstones so I was to shocked to understand what I was being told

I do remember the consultant saying this shud have been picked up 4yrs ago!

I'm only 51 and feel 91onbad days

Any tips will be gratefully received .

Hi, Cowren.

My tip would be to call the PBC Foundation directly and speak to someone who could help you with your questions as specifically as possible.

Hi,

I was put on calcium/vit D tablets when I started my Urso.

I can certainly relate to feeling an awful lot older aswell with all the aches and pains and the fatigue.

I have not looked for any groups on facebook but I am a member of a Yahoo PBC group that I have found very helpful. Based in the USA but has members from around the world.

Not what you're looking for?
