    I am a 13 year old boy who got diagnosed with PSC several months ago. This video helped give me clarity as to what's going on. No history of liver diseases in my family. It began with a continuous fever that lasted three weeks getting up to 103.5°f. I spoke with my GP and I got recommended to a GI. After the fact, I got a recommendation for an admission that lasted over a week. I have had one ERCP in which they couldn't successfully get through to the proper area. I also had a liver biopsy done. After medication from the past few months, several blood tests were abnormal. I will be having a second biopsy in the upcoming months to understand what's going on. I pray that anyone going through a similar situation can be introduced into the love of Jesus Christ. Times can be hard, but He will be there to support you, He will be there to love you, and He will be there to help you get through those rough times. I pray that He be with you. God bless you.

      I was diagnosed around the same age. Also have ulcerative colitis. No family history of it from anyone else. I was lucky and the treatments and doctors kept me in good shape for about 20 years. I had a transplant about 5 and a half years ago. The time leading up to the transplant as you get sicker is scary and difficult, but the relief afterwards is incredible. Good luck with your treatment and eventual transplant, and I pray that all goes as smoothly as possible for you. This can be beaten, and you can have a long and wonderful life

    I am 18 and I was diagnosed with UCPSC (ulcerative colitis with primary sclerosing cholangitis). I was diagnosed around a year ago and it is getting worse. I’m not sure how a liver transplant will go with my body in its current state, im unable to do a lot of things like exercise, get much sunlight, or really go a few hours without immense pain. I just hope that for anything else out there with this disease or something like it doesn’t have to go through this. Times are tough and life is extremely unfair and you will come to realise this. But your mentality and the love of those around you will keep you going, at least that’s what keeps me going. A lot of PSC let alone UCPSC patients suffer from depression as well (around 1/3) in my case I don’t have any signs of these though and I would confidently say it’s mainly because of my girlfriend and my friends and family sticking with me

I am just somehow really, really unlucky and I'm currently on a liver waiting list. Already at 3 ERCPs and my next one is in a few days to remove the stent (they don't last longer than 3 months so you need them changed often). And yeah, everything is shown and said here was spot on with what I've learned this past 4 years.

    I'm a female & was diagnosed with PSC 2 yrs. ago when I was 60. I
    had a stricture of the common bile duct, which was found while getting
    my gallbladder removed, about 20 yrs. ago. At that time most drs.
    didn't know anything about PSC. Survival depends on how advanced the
    disease is. If there's a full blockage, it's a trip to the ER for an
    emergency ERCP with stent placement. I had a full blockage. I ended up
    in the ICU due to sepsis & dehydration. Sepsis is a common problem
    with PCP as the inflammation & blockages of the bile ducts can
    cause bile to reverse back into the liver. Common problems are itching,
    fever with chills, upper R abdominal pain & FATIGUE. Getting a
    liver transplant isn't always a cure, because it can reoccur in the new
    liver. Survival rate without a new liver depends on how advanced the
    cirrhosis is. It's common to require a liver within 10 yrs. of
    diagnosis. Most people can't get a liver transplant after the age of
    70. In that case they end up dying.

      I'm a 35 year old woman and was just diagnosed this week. I've already developed cirrhosis and I'm on a transplant list, but I'm recovering well from the acute liver failure that landed me at a diagnosis that explains the strange laundry list of symptoms I've been experiencing over half of my life now (basically everything this video lists). Even still, my hepatologist told me it could be a very long time before I need a transplant, and there's no reason I can't continue to live my life. I hope that helps... Best wishes to you, take care of yourself.

    Hi, it's worth stipulating that Urso isn't proven as a successful treatment option for the slowing down of disease progression regarding PSC, but it is believed to be successful in those with PBC as a form of treatment. Also, ERCP can offer balloon dilation techniques as opposed to stenting, for the aid of bile flow.

    I got diagnosed with PSC in 2009. Nothing really happened to me until I turned 12. Began to itch all over my skin very badly, went to the hospital every five to six months. When I became 13 I started going to the hospital about every three months because my stomach would have the worst immense pain I ever felt and it got worse and worse to the point every month I had to go. When I became 14, I would go to the hospital almost every month for the exact same reason. Another thing I'd like to mention for these visits that they were a week long also, it really broke me down. Anyways, I got a liver transplant in 2021 and it was great. It literally made me feel so much better, however the visit was extremely bad, nothing against the staff it was my health at the time because my body was reacting to the new foreign organ that was given to me. At first I would think it would take a day or two to recover and go home but nope it was a month, I began to have a very bad fever along with my stomach being bloated, ended up going to the ICU with a feeding tube because I couldn't drink or eat at all because of how bloated it was, and they drugged me at the same time. I'm pretty sure they overdosed me because I was hallucinating stuff like cartoon characters. They put a drain somewhere between my stomach and leg to see if it'll lower but ended up being blood. They first brought me to a ultrasound to see what's going on, and it turns out I was bleeding somewhere in my body. They called a RRT on me and I went to the ICU. I woke up with a machine through my mouth where I couldn't talk at all and couldn't feel like to breathe but I really did, I panicked so badly they put a drug through one of my IVs to put me to sleep for a bit. Woke up in the ICU blurry for at-least a few hours then it went away. I had to get another surgery to open up my body and see where I was bleeding, that was fixed. At that point because of that, I was so weak to the point I would be in so much pain at the surgical wound if I attempted to get up at all. When I was able to my legs were so weak that I would be trembling like I was about to fall. Few days later they take it off the drain and I ended up having body fluid go out all over my bed for at-least one day, then they put stitches over it for it to stop. I'm gonna be honest I don't remember everything about it but this is what I do remember. Yeah, it sucked, and I still remember the IV and heart rate alarms going off through the ICU.

    I'm a female & was diagnosed with PSC 2 yrs. ago when I was 60. I
    had a stricture of the common bile duct, which was found while getting
    my gallbladder removed, about 20 yrs. ago. At that time most drs.
    didn't know anything about PSC. Survival depends on how advanced the
    disease is. If there's a full blockage, it's a trip to the ER for an
    emergency ERCP with stent placement. I had a full blockage. I ended up
    in the ICU due to sepsis & dehydration. Sepsis is a common problem
    with PCP as the inflammation & blockages of the bile ducts can
    cause bile to reverse back into the liver. Common problems are itching,
    fever with chills, upper R abdominal pain & FATIGUE. Getting a
    liver transplant isn't always a cure, because it can reoccur in the new
    liver. Survival rate without a new liver depends on how advanced the
    cirrhosis is. It's common to require a liver within 10 yrs. of
    diagnosis. Most people can't get a liver transplant after the age of
    70. In that case they end up dying.

      I was a 12 year old girl when I was diagnosed.. I'm definitely glad I didn't have to go through any major health issues because, well, I was young. I hope you're okay now, I know that stress can certainly hurt

      Thank you for this! Sounds like I may be right on track with you--I'm a 60 yr old woman who last year had all sorts of strange symptoms until a CT scan MRI and hida scans showed that I had a stricture in my main bile duct. I had an ERCP last year with no complications. I have felt fantastic ever since, but just recently had a massive gallbladder? attack so had to go in for more MRI scans. Radiologist currently comparing my scans, and my doctor will then determine if I do indeed have PSC. Praying for the best outcome but apparently I'm not alone in my situation.

      @@jekku4688 Most people with PSC have to get their gallbladder out. There's a facebook page that is helpful: PSC-support (FB primary sclerosing cholangitis & transplant support).
