Hi, David Taylor @dtknoxville, Welcome to Connect. I am sorry to hear about your itching. I know what misery it is. I had actually forgotten that I was on ursodiol for my pre transplant treatment. I did not even think to associate it with the itching!

David, I am a transplant recipient (liver/kidney 2009), and I would like to invite you to read thru and to join in any of our discussions here on Connect. I am always excited to meet new members and to learn with them as we share our experiences.
For blogs and information from the experts check out the PAGES section of Connect. You can enter thru the link top of this page. Scroll to the very end - You will see the Transplant Pages.

How long have you been taking Ursodiol? Was it prescribed for the itch, or for a liver/bile duct condition?

Hello Rosemary! Thank you for the kind words. I have been on Ursodiol for a good part of my 9 yr journey. It was prescribed for the itching exclusively, and it truly keeps me from itching so bad. I am glad to know about this group, as I greatly enjoy helping others with liver disease. My journey has been a rough one, but I have found peace with my diseases and feel blessed to be here. Thanks for what you do!
