Re: Can someone give me good news?

[Guest guest]

Dear Tammy,

I am very sorry to hear your husbands potential

diagnosis of PSC. I was diagnosed at 37 and at 50 now

there seems to be slow progression for me. Sure there

is fatigue, depression, occasional bouts, but

exercise, wellbutrin, vitamins, seem to keep me going.

But most of all, my supportive wife who understands

when I am having a bad day, helps me most of all. I

have managed to continue working and am planning to

attend my first PSC conference this weekend. With the

variable progression of this disease, perhaps your

husband will be one of those asymptomatic going along

time, if ever, needing a transplant. This website has

helped me so much as I try and manage this ever

changing condition.

Best wishes

Phil PSC/UC 94
