Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hello Everyone,I just wanted to introduce myself and was hoping to get some suggestions. I am a 30 yr old student in Chicago. I just got diagnosed with PSC. I was diagnosed with UC middle of last year. Wife and I are going to Mayo to see Dr Lindor to seek a second opinion. Not that we think he will say that I have been misdiagnosed but just to see what he has to say about management and prognosis. This has come as quite a shock to me - from feeling perfectly healthy to being told that I have a progressive condition. How did you guys manage the psychological aspects? I have been feeling very down - probably depressed. Wife is handling it much better and has been trying to cheer me up. I know whatever the outcome, feeling depressed is not the right thing to do.The other thing I wanted opinions about is how should I break this to my parents. I haven't told them about this yet. They are in India, already freaked out about my UC. Thanks for all the help. You have been a great source of information for us. Hope the researchers can find an effective treatment for this soon.Puneet30 yrs, UC dx 2006, PSC dx 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
