My husband recently found out his thyroid is producing nothing. Absolutely nothing. The doctor wondered how he has been able to function. Anyway, after being on synthroid he is a new person, plus his cholesterol levels have returned to normal. The doctor's said his thyroid condition was autoimmune. I definitely think there's a genetic link with PSC. My father-in-law died from "cirrhosis of the liver" way way back before they did ERCPs or PSC had a name. To this day I believe he had PSC. He was not a heavy drinker and only 52yrs.old when his liver failed. I just know there is an answer out there and someday someone will put all the puzzle pieces together, but I also know it takes $$$ for research. I for one am going to try to do more financially for the cause. The Christmas cards are great!Ok, enough rambling.Thanks, Terry son dx with PSC and UC 3/2000. McCain or Obama?
