primary biliary cirrhosis

I am wondering if you know of anyone who has this liver disease. For the past few months I have a lot of discomfort around the liver area with lots of fatigue and itching. I went to 2 osteopaths (a specialist who can tell you what is wrong just by feeling around the area based on blood flow, tissue textre, etc) they both said that my problematic areas are my liver, gallbladder and bile ducts. My spleen is also somewhat enlarged. I did have some blood work done, my liver enzymes have been slightly elevated, my alkaline phosphotase was also elevated (another enzyme) but the rest of my blood work came back okay. I had an ultrasound done and there were no gallstones detected. I recently had a CT scan done as well and still waiting for the results. But I have read up on this condition and I am wondering if anyone has heard of it or knows anyone who has it because it seems to be a possibility for me. Thanks.
