Pruritus is a complication of chronic liver disease. It is most
commonly experienced by patients with liver disease characterized by
cholestasis.In cases of extrahepatic biliary obstruction, biliary
drainage is usually effective in eliminating pruritus. In cases of
intrahepatic cholestasis in which definitive therapy is not possible,
several measures can be attempted to relieve bothersome pruritus. An
overview of the pathogenesis and treatment of pruritus of cholestasis

Hi all,

When I was first diagnosed (1997) this group was a blessing as I had just
lost a career I loved and was in a horrible flare which lasted almost 3
years, and so many of the folks that were on here at that time probably
saved my life. It is truly amazing how the treatments for Crohn's has
changed in the 11 years, and though I would really enjoy catching up with
some of those that were so helpful, I see there are still the same type of
folks here now. Back then I had created a website for those that wanted to
be listed and at that time we almost had 300 members (from the old site) and
it was safe from "bots" as you had to know the exact URL to be able to find
others. Now with "bots" it can make life miserable or at least your email.

Best of luck to all and if any of the "old timers" are still here, please
let me know as I'd love to catch up with you all.
