More confused than ever!
The consultant gastroenterologist (not a liver specialist) thought it was PBC and prescribed
Urso
. Within several weeks my LFT numbers went right down. Now he is saying that it's probably not PBC and to no longer take

Dairy before and after
How important is it to stay away from dairy products 2 hours before and after taking the
Urso
? I only have a little bit of lactose free milk in my coffee and sometimes, specially in winter I want a last cuppa, but then can't because of the 2 hour thing. Would that make such a big difference?

side effects from Urso
I've read that most people do not have reactions to the
urso
but I think I am having them because that's the only thing that has changed for me. I have had raging headaches that do go away with Tylenol, although I take that very sparingly.

Maybe NOT PBC......perhaps Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia?
If I didn't say it before, they are keeping me on the
urso
. Anyone on here have Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia? Be well, friends.

Urso & flatulence!
Hi, Bit of a delicate question but has anyone experienced excessive flatulence since starting on
Urso
and if so have you found anything to help combat it that you can take with the
Urso
?

Liver Flare
After going on
URSO
, as long as I watch what I eat for the most part, my liver has stopped hurting. But a week or so ago, I started having liver pain again. I will have some pain before my period, but it stops after I am over it. But this time it has really been bothering me.

Latest AMA results
I have been on
URSO
for approx 2 years. Should the AMA be this high? No response from GP or liver specialist so far.

Should I apply for PIP?
Urso
is working which is great but I know that this is only slowing down this crazy disease. My family suggested that I apply for PIP and now waiting for the form but worrying about it all the time. Have any of you applied and what was the outcome?

Normal ALP at last! (urso+bezafibrate)
First year
URSO
only, and bilirubin etc was back to normal and itching disappeared directly. However, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was still way high. Then USRO+budesonide was tested, no difference. Last 3 month with
URSO
+bezafibrate.

Just need to vent
Unfortunately I'm not a good responder to
urso
. I stay tired all the time. What really gets me is my husband. He doesn't understand any of it and doesn't seem to try. All I hear out of him is if you would sleep all night you would feel better and not be so tired. I wish that worked.

Finally seen Gastro
I went to gastro this week and was given a higher dose of
urso
. My ALP has been rising instead of lowering or leveling. She also gave me a higher dose of hydroxyzine for the itching. I have been on vit D for a month now. I still have constant muscle and joint pain.

First blood draw after diagnosis, and pain...
Had hepatic function lab draw last week (He wouldn't test AMA or GGT, as they wouldn't be dropping yet after surgery. ) I began the
urso
on January 14. Results were encouraging for a first look: Alt 72, Ast 49, Alk Phos 156.

Urso
not bringing levels down to the docs expectations so will request more bloods and liver biopsy - my symptoms still were about the same although i was getting a little worried now how this would effect my ability

Scared & Confused
He took me off the
Urso
, which I was unaware of until I went to refill my Rx. Then he told me he was going to just keep rechecking my levels every few months. I was confused so I went back to my Gastro Dr., he was just really confused too. He put me right back on the
Urso
.

Need input
Still not issued
urso
. Doubled my Neurontin for FM. Ordered oxygen tanks for COPD. I am no longer able to do my job so she did say that she would sign the disability forms. MRI of liver was normal. Lymph nodes are swelling at an alarming rate and progressively getting worse.
