L. Marie Asad started to feel what she describes as chronic fatigue, having a hard time getting up in the morning, felt exhausted at work and was tired when she got home. When she went to see her physician, he suggested that she change her diet and eat better. She noticed her fatigue was getting progressively worse, so she went to the physician who ran labs and found elevated alkaline phosphatase. She found a liver specialist and was diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and was prescribed medication.
