Definitely makes senseShaulPSC UCSent via BlackBerry by AT&TFrom: "amgsd" Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:40:42 -0000To: < >Subject: High Dose Urso Hello All- I just wanted to throw in my doctor's 2 cents here. I finally met with my hepatologist last week. He had been on vacation for all of November. I had e-mailed him the article and we discussed it during my appointment. I really respect my doctor. I know he is not God, but he is very smart and very reasonable. I am currently taking 1500 mg per day and I weigh 130 pounds. My doctor's thoughts on the presentation were that they were just that...a presentation, and that until it is published we can't jump. He said that they hear all the time about a new wonder drug or a study here or a presentation there and that it is foolish to jump before they know for sure that it is valid. He said there is significant data to show that high dose Urso can be effective. So I am choosing to stay on the high dose urso for now. And....we recently found out that I am pregnant (with number #3). I have read that several women on these boards with PSC have had healthy pregnancies and babies and that is definitely my prayer. Happy Holidays to all of you and best wishes, Amy PSC 10/06
