My Dr in Texas had me on 600mg 2X a day, now, without any conversation about it yet, I'm back home in Canada and she changed me to 500mg 1X a day, also took me off my cholesterol meds, which is how I knew something was wrong, I was in Texas helping my elderly mother and I have severe bone diseases, the visit with my Dr there told me my cholesterol was 548!!! This is how it all began for me, my Dr here wants to wait 2 to 3 months to check cholesterol levels, but 548??? That was just in July that this journey started in my life, I'm scared, I have 4 kids,(2 of which are married to my kids, but they are also mine in my eyes) a 9 year old granddaughter and I really don't think they want to read about this or understand completely, I'm a nurse, my daughter is a nurse, my son wants nothing to do with knowing anything about it, he's 31 and tells me I should not read anything about it!!!! I'm that person that has to know Everything! I get my results before the dr even knows, so that when I go see them, I understand things, any way, sorry for going on, I'm just dazed and confused, as well as still in a bit of shock, but looking back, now that I know I have PBC....a lot of symptoms in past years make since now
Blessings to all of you beautiful people 🙏

My doctor told me dose is based on body weight and is usually 13 to 15 milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight per day that is typically divided into 2 to 4 doses per day.
