Has anyone developed a rash on their face from taking Urso?
I was diagnosed with PBC last August and a month after starting urso I developed an annoying itchy rash at side of my nose and small blotches around my mouth. Fortunately when I cover it with concealer you can't really see it as the rash is flat and not like bumps as you get with spots. Ive read in the

I haven t buit up to the full dose yet . I'm taking my tablets during my meals to help with the heart burn. I'm eating loads of

What grades or stages are people at? Especially in relation to urso.
Hello to you all. Another new PBCer Some of you have had PBC for a long time (surprised). Has taking urso brought liver counts to a normal level I should say down or are your counts stayed the same? I'm not sure how long one should give, in terms of life expectancy, and how much urso helps in prolonging

What questions should I be asking my consultant?
So I've been diagnosed with PBC, have started Urso and am going back to see my consultant on Tuesday where he will have the results of blood tests (pre-urso), bone density scan and liver biopsy. I have a thousand questions (I'm trying to repress the urge to grab him by the tie and screech "AM I DYING

Have any of you started itching when you started URSO?
I was diagnosed with pbc a few weeks ago. LFTs are normal, AMA positive and was diagnosed on the basis of liver biopsy. I have no symptoms at all currently. My consultant has suggested started URSO and I am thinking about it. But I'm really worried about it bringing on itching which I don't currently

Diet
Hi thank you all for your advice. I am taking my urso, and so what if I itch. I have had a lovely day today with my friend. We went to the Christmas market in Manchester....I wondered about diet. I have been reading on certain medical websites, even the mayo one and I am wondering what is the right way

Digestive issues.
Hi I would like to ask if anyone suffers from really annoying stomach issues? I have PBC AIH overlap. I take urso 500 mg twice per day, prednisolone steroids, and mercaptopurine. I admit to not taking the urso as I was told to by my consultant but it tends to bloat me out and make me feel uncomfortable

Hair loss ? Pbc or urso?
I was diagnosed with pbc three years ago - I'm at quite an advanced stage of the disease but not quite ready for a transplant and I have been taking urso for a year and a half . All of a sudden since September this year I've had horrendous hair loss- my consultant said he didn't know what could be causing

Those of you with AIH/PBC overlap ....
what have you ben told by specialists about the possible progression of disease? And, if you are on steroid and immunosuppressant treatment, did anyone explain why not urso? And how often do you get bloods checked once on stable dose of whatever? Just interested in anything relevant really as I've been

Diagnosed with PBC in 2011 after scan AMA and liver biopsy. Blood test annually. No other appointment.
During liver biopsy Dr pierced a bile duct causing a leak into my abdomen. This was the first needle then he did it twice more. Instant excruciating pain. Led to a 6 day stay in hospital, on morphine and apparently it was potentially life threatening. !!!!! Since then had gall bladder removed, but

My questions are to all those with PBC and AIH overlap.Which of your conditions was diagnosed first and with the AIH did you have jaundice?
I attended Hepatology last week and my consultant has informed me that he thinks I may have PBC AIH overlap as my Bilirubin has been rising steadily for few months now. So I am now wondering if I do in fact have AIH if I have had it all along as the symptoms are very similar to PBC in that it lists
