Re: Itchy?

I have read you can get itchy skin from liver disease. I know before my diagnosis my arms would itch so bad I would leave scratch marks. I never had a rash either.

Rectovaginal fistula

Re: From the top of the Mountain to the bottom

Nik, sorry to hear this. I went to ss department with pics and the diagnosis and I was put on the "fast track" for review and a little while later (not long) I was approved. I don't know why they would not approve you as you are also stage 4. I would be outraged! I am outraged actually bec...
