Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 To Doug! 12/25/04 From the archives of 2005: Message: 69510 From: yllwsub1 Received: Thu Mar 03, 2005 6:23 PM Subject: New member Hi everyone. My name is Doug and I am 19. I was diagnosed in 4/00 with UC and in 10/00 I was diagnosed with PSC. In 2002 I had two episodes of bleeding varices. It remained under control with banding every 2 weeks until there were no more varices. My health dramatically declined in 11/04 and in 12/04 my bilirubin was up to 15.7. I was listed on the transplant list in 11/04. Then on Christmas Eve I got the call. By the time I was ready for transplant surgery, it was Christmas Day. What a wonderful gift it was! I was out of the hospital in 6 days and I have been doing great since. My bilirubin is now down to 1.7 and am only on 5mg of prednisone per day. Hopefully I can come off of it completely soon. Just wanted to say hi to everyone. Doug Quote
