I'm sorry for your ailments. I also get diagnosed with PSC and suffer from itching although so far I have been able to hold on. While I was searching for some information on PSC I came across several hints on how to relieve the effects of itching. It should help when you take cold shower and later renew the cold compress. After the shower do not towel your body but rather let it remain moist as long as it is possible and try keeping it from becoming completely dry. There are also medicines that can be prescribed to aim fighting this awkward ailment but only after you contact your hapatologist. As far as I remember one of them is called Questran and the other is Benadryl and they do their job by trying to eliminate the reason which resides in the accumulating bile which the human system cannot get rid of.
