      No my doctors don't seem to want to help with anything or explain anything. I've been told one problem at a time per visit. Well I've got more than one problem therefore I feel like the doctors are just trying to suck money out of me

        @Bunnysdaughter sounds like it’s time to find a doctor you can count on. I’ve had to change doctors. My last one would just talk to my husband like I wasn’t even in the room. It makes a world of difference when you feel like your care giver actually cares! I make a list and my doctor lets me go through it and helps answer questions I have. I’m so lucky I know. I hope you can find someone.

          @Axamillion There are good ones out there. I’m very aware though that they are few and far between. Best of luck!

        @Bunnysdaughter I’ve been told that too. Not a nice doctor. We are like a car everything is hooked to one another and they should b in sequence with other docs if they are caring and educated properly ugh! Well I hope u can find a doc that feels that way at least! Rough health care nowadays

      Your itching could be do to high bile salt or bile duct blockage. Have they checked that? I suffer from the itch and it is miserable! Hope you find relief and comfort.

      ❤️ I am just now starting to notice that level of progression, but my skin, the tactile sense ( the way something feels on my skin) has been strange for a long time. Low plateletS May be a part of mine because even a bump or scrape( and I’m wayyy clumsy) can result in split and bleeding a lot… my defense at this point is my diet , meds, and my skin is always well hydrated as am I, I dread the itch… I’ve started to feel it in different places and it doesn’t get scratched so easily. It feel “inside” My med team says it’s normal for most with liver related issues. Just like temp modification. I’m cold or hot all the time because the liver is a big temperature regulator…. Sending good thoughts and as always… ask your Drs…..
