ERCP several years post transplant

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I read daily but rarely post but today I'd value your opinions.

I'm 7 years post transplant for auto immune hepatitis and have

always known I have a bent or crooked common bile duct (it was

stented for a while post transplant) anyway, its now very 'pinched

in' like a string of sausages in many places and it the effect is

showing in my bloods but now affecting me. Normally I'm energetic,

work full time, have a lazy family and live life to the full, but now

Im shattered.

I'm waiting for an ERCP appointment, hoping that another stenting

will make me feel better, but am also concerened about pancreatitis

as I've previously had this after every ERCP I've ever had.

My Gastro consultant for U.C thinks I have PSC but the Hep Doctors

seem less concerned about this, so I dont really know if I have it or

not.

I welcome your thoughts on all this.

Best wishes to all of you, I feel I know the regular posters and in

particular good wishes to those going through transpalnt process, you

really will feel great afterwards.(I'm just having a blip here!)
