Primary Biliary Cholangitis

I was diagnosed with PBC in early 2010 after a year of elevated liver enzymes. I have made an effort to learn all I can about liver disease in general. I am a mom of two young adults and still work full time; although it is not always easy. Fatigue and body aches seems to be biggest issues with PBC. I am always trying to create Liver health awareness. My first Liver Life Walk was in 2011 in Houston. I have also walked in NYC and DFW.

I believe we are our own health advocates and it’s our responsibility as patients to follow up with our doctors and live a proactive way of life and create necessary awareness that anyone can actually get liver disease.
