Bacterial cholangitis attack?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Thought I'd run a question by you...

Yesterday Brad was feeling unwell and he thought he may have a flu or

food poisoning. He must have appeared unwell at work because his boss

sent him home half an hour early.

Anyhow, when he got hom at around 4pm, he looked pale, felt nauseus and

fell asleep on the couch.

He said he was really cold and that the nausea was coming in waves then

going away. He had a couple of paracetemols then went to bed and he

was shivering and moaning until he fell asleep about half an hour later.

I just rang him at work and he seems better but has dosed up on

paracetemol again and said he won't eat anything becasue he doesn't

want anything to make him sick.

Does this sound like a cholangitis attack or would he get worse before

getting better if that was the case?

I told him if he gets any worse to go to the docs immediately but I

don't know if he really would.

For the first couple of months after diagnosis, I assumed everything

was connected to the PSC, then when this happened, it took hours for

either of us to make the connection, hopefully there isn't one.

Your advice would be appreciated

Thanks,

Kate
