Itch
I was diagnosed 12 years ago and take 500mg of Ursodiol 3x a day. I experience itching. The middle of the bottom of one foot, on my back, sides of hips etc. Is this the itch from the PBC? Liver enzymes have been normal for years. I also have sweats mostly at night. I am 72.

Why do I feel so tired still when I wake up in the morning?
I have Graves’ disease and taking 5 mg of carbimazole recently reduced from 10 mg. I’m feeling a lot better than I did but never feel like I’ve had a good sleep. I wake up tired! My sleep is broken through the night sometimes but still manage to get at least 6/7 hours. I’m due a blood test next Monday

Melatonin & PMR
I am having trouble sleeping for the first time since going on prednisone 8 months ago. I know part (maybe most) of the problem is since reducing to 7 mg I have pain in my shoulders so wake up frequently to turn over. Wondering if melatonin at night would help. Information online seems to indicate it

You're not my real mom! You just give me drugs (legal doctor scripts, so chill).
I hope you all forgive me because I think I'm hilarious when I write my titles but I am also usually exhausted and a little punch drunk from a long day. I got scolded this morning from my psychiatrist when she called me to see how I'm liking my new antidepressant prescription. Do you remember when you

Basically- I had been on the depo for 9 months (stopped now should have had my last shot three weeks ago and won’t be getting again). My last shot was done in the February

Pain in the Neck
I have a painful throat, not a sore throat, it’s more the sort of pain I had before my diagnosis of GCA was made and Steroids started, I asked my GP if I could stop the Alendronic Acid for a week in case the pain in my throat was due to trauma. He said OK and agreed that throat sweets might be a good

Injuries in the garden use caution to remove plasters/dressings!
Someone posted a great post and recommended arm protection the other day - I bought the arm protection but hadn't opened it yet! I managed to carve a chunk out of my arm on the gate latch while mowing. I used an adhesive dressing similar to those used on abscesses etc. All well really until I came

I had mild itching from 6weeks and though it was hormones and pregnancy symptoms. I finally googled about ICP around 16weeks and was diagonized with ICP at TBA - 13 and immediately started on Ursodiol. My doc has mentioned that I will have to be induced at 36 - 37 weeks.

Neuropathy
Some people on the forum have been asking about neuropathy lately. The combination of 4 things should take care of most forms of this problem. Alpha lipoic acid, B12, magnesium and zinc.

GCA - PMR doing great after 2 months
To recap, I had left temporal headache and PMR symptoms of hip, wrist and elbow arthralgias beginning in January of this year. I had no visual symptoms or jaw claudication. My sed rate was normal and CRP was slightly elevated. Prednisone 40 mg daily resulted in rapid resolution of all symptoms except

Suggestion for sleep aid
I’ve been listening to guided meditation for sleep. I look up free ones on YouTube. The link below is pretty good. https://youtu.be/uuzJffTliSc

New but have a question
I have had osteoporosis for many, many years without a problem, but now I have a very gravely throat, not exactly sore but unpleasant. Has any one else had this? Were you able to do anything about it? I need to clear my throat all the time. Will be grateful for ideas and suggestions. I believe it can

do I have endometriosis?
Hey i'm new here! :) Im 22 years old and over the past year my periods have gotten extremely painful. On the first day of my period the only relief I get is by sitting in the shower with the shower hose on the hottest degree and rubbing it on my belly and legs. The pain is particularly bad down my legs
