Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 , Hi! I'm not sure if this is answering your question or helpful or not, but you mentioned that you are having symptoms that don't seem to be consistent with your stage. Is that right? I'm also in that situation. I have late stage PSC symptoms but, according to my workups, I am only in Stage 2 of the disease. The docs seem really confused by this and are actually in the process of looking further into it to see what's going on. I do know that sometimes our labs look better than we actually are and can be misleading but I'm not sure if this is the case in staging or not. Hope you get some answers and that you're feeling well! Sandi in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks, Sandi, and all, for the responses. It's great to hear I'm not entirely alone in having early symptoms. I did start Urso Forte a couple weeks ago, and I haven't felt this good in awhile--pain has virtually disappeared and I feel more energetic. If the Urso continues to work and keeps me from juandice etc., then I feel very fortunate to have had these bad bouts early and had the diagnosis before my liver has progressed too far. It is, albeit, a mixed blessing. I'll let you know, Sandi, if I hear any theories about why we're so fortunate. > > , > > Hi!
