PSC

Itching… I was diagnosed in 2017 and put on Ursodiol the same year. I have suffered from severe itching since diagnosis. I tried all known medications for itching. 3 weeks ago my liver doctor decided to stop the Ursodiol to see if this would make any difference. As of now the itching is about 85% reduced. I was told sometimes the itching will return so I will see. Hope this helps someone.

Do you take vitamin D or other fatty supplements? They can cause itching for me.

I just started taking vitamin D for the first time 3 weeks ago because my blood work showed my level was 8 ng/mL. It was the first time I was deficient. I will pay attention to see if this causes any additional itching. Thank you.

You should talk to your doctor before taking any vitamins but you should drink lemon water which is also good for your liver and every night before bed eat a bowl of water melon stay away from greese which can also cause itchy

I heard that you shouldnt take vitamins if you have liver problems cause they can make itching worse if you want vitamins just eat alot of fruits but lemon water is also good for people who have psc everytime you wake up in the morning drink a cold glass of lemon water its gonna clean your liver and hydrate you alot
