Primary biliary cirrhosis: Finding it hard to eat

Posted by kingstoncat @kingstoncat, Sep 4, 2023

Hi, I was diagnosed with PBC about eight years ago, cirrhosis stage 4, I have a lot of fatigue and anxiety issues, hard to fall asleep, hardly can eat much without pain in my stomach, I keep myself busy and work three days a week, I am 72 years old, I have lost some of my teeth and that's another reason I can't eat well, any comments?

Hi all,
I realize this is a very old post, but im writing in hopes that one or some of you are still active in this platform.
My mother in law was diagnosed with Stage 3 liver disease and PBC 2 years ago with what the doctors are calling an autoimmune issue but have not been able to give her a diagnosis as to the cause (or what autoimmune disease would cause this). I was hoping maybe some of you could shed light on what autoimmune disease you have that played a role in your liver disease progression. I'm doing everything I can to help her avoid a transplant which seems to be a very likely thing to happen. Any and all information is appreciated.

@slaforgia20 PBC IS an autoimmune disease in and of itself. Is she on Urso? That works for many of us.
