What are some tips for the fatigue and night itching

I have lost so much sleep over the itching I feel like a walking zombie

  1. Hydroxyzine and a lot of eczema lotions

  2. I hate that you have to deal with this. Itching and sleepless nights are no fun at all. While you wait for others to respond, I wanted to share an article you might find helpful as you look for relief. You can access the article here: https://primarybiliarycholangitis.net/living/itch-treatment. And fatigue can be such a frustrating part of PBC because you can’t always predict when it’s going to hit. One thing that may help is giving yourself permission to slow down on the days your energy is low instead of trying to push through everything. Breaking things into smaller tasks, taking short rest breaks, and planning the things that require the most energy for the time of day when you usually feel your best may make things a little more manageable too. What have you tried lately to manage both the fatigue and the itching? -Latoya (Team Member)
