Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Ladies that are taking hydroxychloroquine.... I asked my GP for a prescription and he gave me one with no problems. When I went to a local chemist to get the prescription filled I asked for Plaquenil not a generic version of this drug (because I know some people have tummy upsets with generics) he has Plaquenil in stock but advised me the patent on Plaquenil has now run out and the generic version of hydroxychloroquine sulphate are being stocked in many chemists. Plaquenil is available but you may need to ask you GP to specify on the prescription that you want this otherwise a generic version may well be dispensed. I know some ladies are using generics with no tummy upsets so it is not absolutely necessary to have Plaquenil but some of you may prefer it.
I am off on my hols tomorrow. Taking buffs for the beach and silk scarves for the evening. I am packing one wig just in case, the one I am wearing in this photo. I am so used to wearing wigs now it seems odd to be without them. I will catch up with all your news in a weeks time.
Have a super weekend. xxx

Pam, Thank you for posting the link to the CARF newsletter. It contains some really good information about controlling inflammation. I was pleased to see that some of the products (tea tree oil), supplements (turmeric & ginger), and foods (olive oil, green tea) that I've found helpful were mentioned. There's also some good stuff in there about cosmetic options. Thanks for sharing.
