This is My PBC is a disease awareness initiative developed and funded by Ipsen, that seeks to raise awareness of the need for people living with PBC to know more about their disease and understand that everyone’s experience is different – and valid. By taking a personalized approach to your PBC management, you can empower yourself with the knowledge to have meaningful conversations with your healthcare professional, and play a more active role in your PBC management and care.

Jo’s journey to diagnosis began about 10 years ago, when she contacted her GP feeling tired and run down, but it wasn’t until 4 years ago following some routine blood tests and a liver biopsy, that she received a diagnosis. Support groups, like the PBC Foundation, have been a gamechanger for Jo, providing support, education and a like-minded community.

Wendy has been living with PBC for over 13 years, and it took 5 years of GP and specialist appointments to receive her diagnosis. Her advice to other people living with PBC is to go to your doctor prepared to ask lots of questions, manage your condition as well as you can and be kind to yourself.
