PSC a challenge to the clinician but an even greater challenge to the patient/their family. So much can be done to help people feel better, understood and supported even in the absence of effective therapies. Let’s crack this @PSCSupportUK @PSCPartners
Please help us raise the profile of PSC today on #PSCAwarenessDay 🙏
🤷 A complex liver disease
😩 Daily symptoms like fatigue, pain & itch
👨👩👧 Can affect anyone at any age
❌ No medical treatment

🎉 We're celebrating 25 years of PSC Support! 🎉
PSC Support was set up as a small support group in 1995. We've come along way in 25 years but we've always existed to support people affected by PSC, raise awareness & work towards finding a cure.

Great informative thread Edward! Hope you enjoyed the day.
Today is PSC Awareness Day. PSC stands for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. In February 2018 I was diagnosed with PSC. I was terrified. This is a THREAD about the disease, with all credit and thanks to @PSCSupportUK for the facts. #PSCAware #LetsbeatPSC
