PSC

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My husband was diagnosed with PSC approximately six years ago and,

so far, has been holding his own with a very slow progression.

However, just recently he has had two bouts with cholangitis during

the last year and now is suffering from very chronic fatigue. He

has an ERCP done once a year, usually around this time, and takes

URSO (8 tabs daily). He has very few symptoms - no itching or

severe jaundice. He does not have sclerosis of the liver. He does

complain of abdominal and calf bloating occasionally. His appetite

has decreased over the past few years, although he has not had

significant weight loss. He works very long hours 4 days a week

with 4 days off following.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the chronic fatigue? He is a

50 year old, otherwise healthy and very active male, who exercises

regularly and eats well balanced meals (most of the time!). I feel

there is something more I can do for him to help him in his battle

with this disease, I just don't know where to start. Any help would

be greatly appreciated!
