Gwen's Story

Gwen was diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis of the liver in November, 2017. During the last several years she has been in and out of the hospital to maintain healthy ammonia levels, which cause a variety of debilitating symptoms if not in proper range. She has had her own design business for 30 years but is currently unable to work.
