| 5 | cirrhosis of the liver | none noticed | When I first found out I had cirrhosis my doctors were pretty sure I would need a transplant. They decided to up my dosage and since then the swelling went down and there has been no additional scarring on my liver. I should probably say that I am helping the cause of it remaining healthy because I do not drink nor have I even tasted alcohol. | F | 19 | 4 years 500 MG 2X day | 4/18/2010 | 3 | Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis | Severe fatigue at 9 pills per day. | For a drug known for its lack of side effects, be careful at higher doses. I had been taking six per day for about six years and never realized how lethargic it was making me feel. When the Dr. increased the dosage to nine per day, I could barely function. Without it, my liver enzymes go off the chart, so for now I take four per day which is tolerable. | M | 36 | 6 years | 8/8/2007 | 3 | non-alcoholic steatohepatitis | Non noticed | prescibed by gastroenterologist | M | 72 | 10 years | 8/2/2006 | 5 | Alagille Syndrome | None | Relieved the itchiness that comes with this disorder. | M | 9 | 7 months | 9/28/2005 | 4 | Alagille Syndrome | Hives | Lowered the dosage and the hives went away | M | 12 | 7 months | 9/28/2005 | 1 | gallbladder | | 2/25/2005 |
