Re: Was something to do with PSC? or something else

[Guest guest]

Randy,

This is a relatively typical description of a bacterial cholangitis

attack. Sudden chills, possible nausea and fever, flue like symptoms

of aches and fatigue - itching, light colored stool, dark urine,

jaundice are also possible. It IS something to see your doctor about

or go to the ER. The infection (if that is what it is) can spread and

become sepsis (blood poisoning), which is very serious. Antibiotics

are a typical treatment. Untreated, cholangitis will sometime resolve,

but often recurs with increasing severity.

Get seen by a doctor and treated soon.

when I went out to lunch (lunch is one hour) after eating I started

to shiver uncontrollably and was very cold and cold not warm up. after

shaking for about 15 minutes at my desk I went to the restroom and

lost my lunch. was an attack or something else? ever since then I'm ok

Randy:

My doctors told me that if I get the chills and shivers that I should

head to the ER for antibiots. You had the same thing that I had for

about 8 months. This required 5 vists to the hospital and 5 ERCP's to

unplug the bile ducts.

Lots of luck and everyone will be thinking of you and wishing the best.
