So I DO have Cholestasis - Thanks Soinlove!!!!
If it weren't for reading Kristin's (Soinlove) post a month ago and her saying your blood needs to continually be drawn my doctors never would have diagnosed me with this.
I need to go for sonos twice a week now and they put me on steroids and some other meds to reduce the itching - it's only been a few hours and I'm already itching less!!!!  After 3 hours of sleep last night I was officially "done" so as much as I don't want this I'm glad they were able to put a name to it and start treating me and watching out for the babies. 
I cannot say how thankful I am for LIF and to Kristin for her post - my babies could have been in danger and I could have been by far the most miserable pregnant woman in the world!!!  So lesson learned, if something doesn't seem right, bother your doctors and keep asking questions and doing research on your own!!!!

Re: So I DO have Cholestasis - Thanks Soinlove!!!!
You're welcome!!! I'm soooooo glad that you were persistent and continued getting bloodwork done! Like I said, I know how awful the itching can be and I'm sure it was twice as bad for you because you're carrying twins. I'm also really glad that you're getting treatment now and getting some relief! Maybe you'll be able to get some sleep now! It's just scary how most doctors know little to nothing about this disease. Thank god you have answers now.

Glad your feeling better! Is the itchiness constant or only at night?

The first month it was mainly at night - the last two weeks or so was throughout the day and only getting worse.
