Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hi I think that this subject is not talked about enough. To get a dx of PSC is a shock to say the least. Some of us did not feel sick and were dx by routine blood tests. How we got here does not matter. PSC is a disease that has an unpridictable course , every one of us is fighting our own little battles. The stress of not knowing how or when this disease is going to turn nasty can very easily lead to burn out and or depression. I hid the fact that i was depressed from my consultant for 5 years. That was the last thing i wanted on my chart (or so my thinking went ) So i finally came out and said i am 6ft 2in and i can not cope any more. Depression , stress are normal with long term illness. I talk to a counselor and my consultant put me on 25mg of ciprimil. I recently got the nothing to worry about answer for my MRI scan and elevated CA19 results. Was i worried ? you better believe i was. Depression and worry and stress all come with PSC (my experience so far) Regards O Ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
