Avatar f tn The doctor says he proposes to take my mother off CellCept altogether at some point in time and only PanGraaf will be needed for the whole life - in the meantime the doctor may prescribe CellCept in on / off basis.
Avatar m tn The day I posted this problem, I visited my doctor. He prescribed to drop cellcept and to start wysolone 10mg daily. The test on 21st Nov shows TLC increased to normal range (5500 from 2200). Other liver engymes are also back to the normal range. Right now I am on prograf as only immunosupressant.
Avatar n tn I'm a patient with autoimmune hepatitis type II, and my doctor has just perscribed cellcept in an attempt to reduce or stop use of prednizone. It is really important to me to try and have a child, but I'm afraid if I start cellcept that I shouldn't get pregnant. I know cellcept is a class D drug, and discussed my concern with my doctor.
Avatar n tn I had a breakthrough with Avonex so my dr. recommended adding cellcept to the avonex shots. If so can you tell me how you have done with cellcept. Thanks!!!!
Avatar f tn When that happens, the doctor increases PanGraf / Cellcept dosage and a particular steroid (wysolone). After that the enzymes go back to normal - except GGT which goes down but still remains well above normal (say, falls from 1800 to 300).
Avatar f tn that affected my legs so my Dr. just prescribed Cellcept. I filled the prescription yesterday and was scared to death after reading the literature on it. What is PPMS? I will be interested in seeing if anyone has used this medication too. Sunnyb.
778275 tn?1326913623 After a upper respiratory infection last month I have been having someone more weaknesses and even a slight breathing problem at times, so he wants to put me on Cellcept. The problem is Cellcept can cause Lymphoma and other side effects and infection risk,. I want to get off Prednisone due to weight gain and creeping up hypertension and the Mestinin digestive problems are a real pain.
Avatar f tn Anyone on cellcept having back pain? I've been having back pain for a couple of weeks now, wake up earlier and earlier in the morning with my back aching and when I move it I get these stabbing pains. It all goes away when I get up, and I've managed to sleep a bit in the morning in a half-seated position, so it's really related to lying down. I just read someplace that cellcept can cause back pain, but I haven't been able to find any info on what kind of pain. Could this be it?
1135761 tn?1260557094 my doctors have reduced my cellcept in half. 1000 mg 2x day to 500 mg 2x day. they said my symptoms are common and reducing the cellcept should help. any comment?
Avatar f tn Okay hears the deal I was put on prednison when I was 17yrs old along with imuran, now i know the effects of prednison obviouly, it being a steroid there usually are some weight gain and moon face etc as common side effects. Now I'm 19yrs old and they have me on cellcept. I have always been extremely active even to due to my fatigue but I cannot loose a pound, I will work out 24-7 and change my diets often to see if anything changes and...nothing.
Avatar n tn when you say adding some cellcept might be a good idea,does that include trying to lower my prograf some?
Avatar f tn I take Cellcept for 2 and a half year. How long will last taking of this medicine because my hair and stomack can't stand it any more?
Avatar f tn I was just back in to see the doctor for another fleurosine test and it found that my blood vessels have started to bleed out. It has been suggested by the doctor that inflammation of the blood vessels in the eyes would also assume inflammation in the brain. However, the MRI was clear. I have been put on Cellcept and Prednisone. They are going to wein me off of the Prednisone once I am up to the highest dosage of Cellcept which is 2000mg a day.
Avatar n tn i think the Dr wants to start, cellcept and eliminate diazapam nd steroids....after having such relief finally,after so long.. I am afraid.Also of the side effects of cellcept and having massive pain returned. But which side effects are going to be worse? Preds or cellcept. I will research and let you know,. There are other drugs, but with heart and clogged arteries, i am not a candidate... Hang in there. Advil helps. Tons of it, Percocet if you can find a Dr who will write it,.....
984010 tn?1255796138 Did your docs do any lab work such as ANA or SSA or SSB blood test? What meds did she give you? I have SS,Lupus and Fibo, RA and I have gone through the gaunlet of meds and nothing has worked except pain medication. Right now my doc is tring Cellcept. The jury is still out. But I have been on steroids, Plaquenil, Arava, Methotrexate and now Cellcept.
960462 tn?1284991345 s, and indicators do heart issues, my question is does cellcept work as well? does morbidity go up the second time around? Is there something better to use? More chest pain this time. thanks for your input!
Avatar m tn Should the transplant team/doctor monitor liver transplant patients taking cellcept post liver transplant over time? Is there a significant threat of cellcept causing lymphoma?
Avatar f tn s Hospital yesterday and was told by the doctor that I have Primary Progressive MS. She gave me 3 prescriptions - one for Cellcept to slow the progress, one for PT and the third for a scooter. That last one got me teary. I thought I was years away from that but now see that it is for the best. It will give me what I need to go out more. Also had to get the H1N1 vaccine and the pneumonia vaccine because she said Cellcept suppresses the immune system. Not sure there's much more to say.
645800 tn?1466860955 Hi Dennis, Welcome back. Has spring sprung in TN yet? The deer here are very active and creating excitement in the area. I had to reread your message - it appears you are saying that the VA doctors are listening to you ? Huh? This is very good news. The 1.5T closed MRI should give them a pretty good look at what is going on if it was done to the MS protocol. Ufrustrated2 had his breakthrough with the VA recently, too.
Avatar m tn If so, then the treatment is optimizing doses and levels of cellcept and prograf and trying to minimize the use of parenteral corticosteroids.
Avatar f tn So he is starting alll over again with cellcept, more prednisone, more prograf. As far as the hepc we have an appointment in March to discuss what to do about that. We're both very depressed as we are starting all over again and I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, but it helps to have people that will listen cause most of our friends and family don't know what to say and we don't want them to keep feeling bad.
Avatar f tn prednisone, IvIG, plasmapheresis, with no real help. My neurologist now suggests therapy with cytoxan or cellcept. He is "saving" the stem cell/bone marrow transplant as a last resort. I have read all of the info on both drugs and the risk/benefit for each. Because this disease robbed me of my life, I am leaning towards cytoxan therapy because it seems to be more aggressive than the cellcept (which is used mainly for transplant rejection).
1037367 tn?1267134141 s how much she had to take and also Cellcept for her immune system. After 6 months she was totally weened off of Prednisone and will continue Cellcept until her one year mark and get another Renal Biopsy done in April.....I would love to know about more parents that have had children that gave suffered with this horrible virus that has left my daughter scarred physically and emotionally for life. I do not wish this on any innocent child!
