Dry skin & Urso
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I have a question about dry skin after starting Urso. I itch of course, but my skin is dryer than it’s ever been. I use Shea lotion on my body and organic Shea butter on my face. Any other suggestions?

I began self injecting back in April but had to stop due to developing awful anxiety after each one and then some very negative

Hairless scalp care
I have the lovely chemo baldness and coupled with a round steroid face can't decide whether I look like Uncle Fester or Matt Lucas. 😉 I notice though that the scalp is getting dry. Does anyone have any suggestions for creams or special tricks to use so I don't get cradle cap!

Xarelto or also known as rivaroxaban
Good morning, at the advice of the cardiologist my father started this new medication to replace the warfarin. His INR is now 1.51 instead of 2.5 that used to be with warfarin. The doctor advised that the range with rivaroxaban is different to the warfarin and 1.51 is the perfect norm. Does anyone have

Alk-phos climbing up... 😔
Hello all, Well, got my labs back. Everything is in normal range except my AMA M2 and my alk-phos. It's elevated yet again. Slowly over the past few months it's been climbing. It was 162 three weeks ago and it's 174 today. I'm taking the mid range level of my URSO for my weight but I'm still within

Generic URSO & Effectiveness
This is a repost from a PBC patient on the Yahoo forum. It got me thinking about different brands of URSO and their effectiveness. I'm interested in any feedback because I've been on a "generic" URSO for 8 months with no change. My alk-phos fluctuates but has never normalized. Thanks, Stella I was
