I am also taking vitamin d3 per my dr as my vitamin d was not even showing on my blood work. It has come up since last appointment. I have noticed some hair loss and hope that is does not get any worse. My bones grind alot. Dr told me that osteoperosis goes along with PBC, so now going to see a reumatologist. Good luck with all of this. I know seems like such a mess. I was always healthy for the most part and this has been a learning curve to say the least.
