Thinning hair

I probably had PBC since about 2009, but, was formally diagnosed in 2016. I started noticing some hair loss around 2014-2015, when I had longer hair. Now, I have a very short cut and I even though I don't notice any actual shedding, I can clearly see thinning see-through areas, on the sides of my headI probably had PBC since about 2009, but, was formally diagnosed in 2016.

Buprenorphine (sp?)

This is a paper on the use of Buprenorphine in older people rather than Oxycontin ( as some of us are) it talks about addiction-- but I prefer to see it as dependency!😩😎 May be worth talking to your pain manager about it? https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/923754 Cheers.This is a paper on the use of Buprenorphine in older people rather than Oxycontin ( as some of us are) it talks about addiction-- but I prefer to see it as dependency!😩😎 May be worth talking to your pain manager about it? https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/923754 Cheers.

Hypophosphatasia

Recently had a number of blood tests. One test which has been upper end of low for about 4 years is alkaline phosphatase. Normal range, 46-116 U/L.

Apixoban

I am about to start taking apixaban instead of Warfarin. Has anyone taken CBD oil or turmeric with it to help with the pain of RA? A friend of mine takes apixaban and CBD oil and she thinks it is marvellous. When I read the side effects of CBD they were very scary! So it has put me off.I am about to start taking apixaban instead of Warfarin. Has anyone taken CBD oil or turmeric with it to help with the pain of RA?
