Anyone had a liver biopsy for Primary Biliary Cholangitis diagnosis?

Hello, thanks for letting me know your story. Are you diagnosed with PBC..if so, what stage are you? I’m not sure why I’m so nervous about the liver biopsy! I’ve had many tests the last 10 years trying to figure things out. I think I’m afraid I’ve had this disease for a while and that it’s a higher stage.
After reading other’s stories I realize the biopsy isn’t too bad. Thank you for the info!

Yes autoimmune PBC I am not sure of the stage. I assume 4 and beyond since it’s Cirrhosis Meld score now 10. I probable had this for years, I just turned age 71 and no symptoms except need thyroid pills and don’t sleep well. I also have restless leg some nights and osteopenia, I’ve had 3 broken bones. Have never drank I don’t like the taste of alcohol even though my kids always used to try and get me to have some of their nice cranberry wine at holidays. Feel free to reach out anytime! Gail
