PBC care in the US/ Transplant times/ success rates
So… when I was diagnosed we lived in Indiana and I was getting care at IU (misdiagnosed as AIH/PBC overlap) but we were obviously scared/ sought a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. 45 days later we were moving to Central Florida after purchasing a house we had never set foot in.

Alpha fetoprotein test for cirrhosis patients??
Hi, is it standard for this test to be done every 6 months with the liver scan? I've just had my bloods done (post liver scan and pre consultant appointment) and spotted that I have been tested for this for the first time and the results are hidden from my Patient Knows Best account ... should I be worried

Becoming a burden to my family
Hi I have cirrhosis and liver cancer and would be interested in talking to other older people like myself who feel that they are undecided about there future. The experts all seem to give the same advice. My worry is are they just keeping you alive regardless of your quality of life and the heartache

NEW TO THIS
I have not had a formal diagnosis yet, been referred to the Heptology department at the local hospital, not until July ! This is due to high ALT, just had another blood test. I have not drunk any alcohol since I found out about this. Have I been a heavy drinker, well I didn't think so, but I did

Meds
I had a successful kidney transplant on 2/11/21 however at that time I was also diagnosed with Parkinsonism and put on Carbidopa/Levodopa. I have struggled since then with agitation and jitters. Maybe on too many meds or the wrong ones. Is there anyone out there who has Parkinsonism and also on

What not to eat AIH
Hi. I was told that with AIH you can eat 'as normal' which I take as no changes required to existing diet. I am not overweight and eat all the good stuff i.e veggies and fruit on a daily basis. I love my dairy and eat plain unsweetened full fat yoghurt and cheese and full fat butter. I have a bowl of
