Yeast infection and Urso
I've been on Urso since last November (2016). Somewhere in May, I've acquired vaginal itch and burning. Finally went to see a primary doctor by mid-June. Was diagnosed with the yeast infection. I took two (5 days apart) prescription fluconazole 150mg pills. Didn't help. Went to see a gynecologist this

Newbie - Urso
Hi, I found out I probably had PBC about 6 months ago and after plenty of blood tests, Fibroscan & Biopsy it was officially confirmed to me last week. I have absolutely no symptoms and only found this out due to a random blood test taken while I was pregnant which did not go to term. I have just been

Milk thistle for PBC?
Was wondering if milk thistle supplements work for PBC? Anyone on them w/o URSO or even with URSO?

Has any one diagnosed with PBC gone untreated for any length of time?
Question? Has anyone here after being diagnosed spent a significant time without any treatment? I ask because I first had an allergic response to Urso then when we tried again I was classified as a none responder. So I lived with the PBC diagnosis for five years without treatment. I now am on Ocaliva

Adverse response to Urso so put on Ocaliva. My alkaline phosphatase remains around 300. How do I know if the Ocaliva is working?
Hi, I am a 56yr old female diagnosed with PBC six years ago. I had a severe reaction to Ursol the first time I tried it, waited a year and tried it again but was unresponsive to it. I started Ocaliva 5mg for three months and since my alkaline phosphatase remained around 300 my doctor increased the

Pain
Does anyone else suffer from rightsided pain. It's what started my PBC journey and I was told it was a cracked rib. It went away but last week it came back. It doesn't feel skeletal but more like my liver is "bruised". Nothing showed up in any of my tests eg scans ultrasound X-ray. Diagnosed early Stage

Visit to the hepatologist
The hepatologist confirms the fibrosis which is better than the cirrhosis they first thought I had. The biopsy suggests autoimmune hepatitis but blood tests do not support it. Blood tests support PBC but biopsy was inconclusive. What? Anyway continuing with the Urso which seems to be improving

Appetite
I have been on urso for about 2 weeks now and i am experiencing headaches with nausea and loss of appetite. Before my diagnoses i had the same issues without the headaches. I had lost 23 pounds over 2 month period. Im starting to lose weight again. Is this common?

Feeling Unloved!!!
Was dx about 18 months ago! Have just left my GP having been told I probably don't need 6 monthly blood test to check my liver function any longer, probably don't need to see my hospital consultant every 6 months and can probably stop taking the urso now!!!! At this I asked her if she knew anything about

Hi everyone. Just received most recent labs from GI Doctor. Been on Urso for 7 Months and was worried in my last post that my alk phosphatase was creeping up again. It had gone back up to 177 but re tested a month later and back down to 145. Dr. Said they may never be within normal limits but as long

Stage 3 Grade 3.5
I just got the results of my liver Biopsy. Not good at all however, I am responding to the Urso and my liver enzymes are now in the 600 range (were 1700) and my AMA's are down 20%... Not sure if either of those #'s right now just that they are down... I'd like to talk to those of you in this stage
