Who has PBC / AIH overlap or 'probable overlap'? What did your biopsy show? How are you treating both simultaneously?
He would like my weight and labs to stabilize so he can look at baseline numbers and determine whether
URSO
, a low dose of Prednizone or both should be administered.

Newly diagnosed with PBC
Nevertheless, since I have been browsing your blogs a lot of my anxiety evaporated and I found myself much more calm about the whole situation, which did help me immensly on my first appointment on Wednesday :) The liver specialist started me on
Urso

Question re Urso.....
I have another question, about
Urso
this time . Maybe it is a coincidence but about two months ago I started with the bad itching, all over my body, slightly during the day but mostly morning and evening. Up til then I had only occasionally had itching on legs.

Does anyone know if absorption of Urso is reduced if taking bile acid sequestering agents, such as cholestyramine (for itching)?

Feeling crap.
I also take
urso
which bloats me so badly I look 9 months pregnant, and mercaptopurine. She has increased the dose of mercaptopurine, but I have noticed my head is itchy and my hair is falling, not a great deal, but my hair does not fall out except in the normal way everyone else's does.

Advice please
I also take mercaptopurine and
urso
. These past 5 days I have felt extremely tired, thirsty and I can pee for England. It gets worse after I have done something like hoover the lounge, walk the dog, even washing up.

PBC -it's all so confusing
Just had liver biopsy last week and started on
urso
2 x. 300m per day. Finally today got a copy of consultants letter to my doc updating them on diag. It states previously positive AMA, raised IGM, and positive ANA. I have the other symptoms of tiredness, slight itch, bloating.

URSO and itching
I read that
URSO
can cause itching to get worse. I started
URSO
on tuesday and my itching immediately became worse. I read that it helps release bile salts that can cause itching. Is this a good thing in regards to my response to the
URSO
and my PBC?

Does URSO help the immune system from attacking the bile ducts
My mother was diagnosed this past December with PBC, she is 81 and was immediately put on
URSO
and diuretics. Since then, the inflammation has decreased and liver function is quite good except for fatigue which remains.

ACE results
After about 7 years still not have been put on
urso
or any other meds. The thinking seems to be the less meds you take the less the liver has to cope with. When I read about all of you being on
Urso
I get very confused.

memory loss
since been diagnosed with PBC I have struggled with memory I didn't know if it was a side effect of the illness or the
urso
medication. The doctors aren't much help so anyone else's experiences would be good to know?

just started on urso
Hi, I was diagnosed last November with PBC and AIH I have just started on
Urso
this last month. Is it quite a while before it starts to kick in or take any effect ? Also how long should it be til I go to see my specialist again as they did not say.
