It's completely understandable to feel frustrated when you've been taking Urso for several months and aren't seeing the results you hoped for. You're definitely not alone in this experience — other myPBCteam members have shared similar concerns about their numbers not responding as expected.

The good news is that your upcoming appointment on 11/2 is the perfect opportunity to dig into this with your hepatologist. Some things worth bringing up include:

- How your liver tests (ALP, AST, ALT, bilirubin) have trended over the full period
- Whether any side effects or other factors might be affecting how the medication works
- Whether a dosage adjustment or an additional treatment might be appropriate It's also worth knowing that some medications, including cholestyramine, aluminum-based antacids, certain cholesterol drugs, estrogens, and some birth control pills, can interfere with how Urso works. If you take any of these, it's worth mentioning to your doctor.

Hang in there — you're doing the right thing by staying on top of your monitoring and keeping that appointment. 💪
