Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I have a 16 year old daughter that has just been diagnosed with PSC. She has had high liver counts since she was 5 years old, however it has taken 11 years for her doctor to finally give us an answer as to why. We are now working with the Transplant team at UCSF, we attended an evaulation on Thursday and were very impressed with their team. Her bilirubin was at 38 2 weeks ago prior to her second ERCP in three weeks, the bili. level dropped to 23.8 but has now climbed bak up to 28.5 she has been on ursodiol for approximatily 3 weeks and complaines of nausea and has not been eating well. The urso seemed to have no effect on lowering the bili level, so she has stopped and now has her appetite back.(sorry if I'm rambling here but am still trying to digest all this) Anyway what Im relly looking for is other young adults she can chat with to help ease her mind until we beat this disease. If you know of any chat rooms or fourms please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
