cellcept with food

I have been noticing not only from the last past year i have been having food sensitivities my face with blow up from eating things with hight salt content like cereal, ice cream, or even dressings on salads. So if anyone is having any of these similar problems and has some idea about how to handle it, that would be great. I just would love to be back to my regular weight and feel great.

I know cellcept is a class D drug, and discussed my concern with my doctor. She said that patient on cellcept have had successful pregnancies, even though she legally would have to tell me that it is not recomended because of the class D warning, but she didn't seem overly concerned about the fact that I want to get pregnant someday. I'm 26 years on and married, and not ready to give up hope of having my own child.

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!!!!

Thanks for the good word on Cellcept. I hope that I have no problems with it and that it does slow the progression of this disease down. Have all the vaccines done. Just waiting for the Cellcept to come in the mail and then I'll start.

i agree with the plan

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?

bad taste in mouth, aches and pains with muscles and joints, diarrhea, and headache. No fever or nausea. Am I just complaining or should I take more seriously. I had blood drawn today. My next appointment with my transplant team is june 15.

I am on 5 mg of prednisone and cellcept as well. Can I ask why you stopped taking the cellcept? My Dr is trying to lower me off of the prednisone all together and just stay on the cellcept. I was on 10 mg of pred 4 weeks ago, down to 7.5 mg 2 weeks ago and just got reduced to 5 mg. My numbers are staying in great shape, but I am still holding steady on the cellcept. I have been battling AIH for a year and a half. Nothing has worked w/the prednisone accept for cellcept.

when you say adding some cellcept might be a good idea,does that include trying to lower my prograf some?

Went to the Rhematologist for the first time today and I am DX'd with Fibro and SS. I don't understand and know much about these disease and need help. Scared to take meds she gave me.

These have all been coming and going every day along with a temp that just before taking my CellCept will be around 99.2 - 99.6. After taking my medication my temp drops to my normal 96.6 - 97.4 temp range. So I guess that means the CellCept is suppressing my immune system? LOL.

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?

I have been on CellCept for about 2 years now with no problems. I am classed as Progressive and it seems to be slowing down the progression of my symptoms. How much your immune system is suppressed depends on the dosage you are taking. I am on 2000mg daily (which is considered a high dosage) and have only gotten mildly sick once in those 2 years. At that time my PC just had me stop the CellCept while taking an antibiotic for 2 weeks and I was all better.

My Neuro has me on an immunosuppressant (CellCept 2000mg ) I have been on the CellCept a little over 6 months and it seems to be helping with both the SS and MS. I have noticed that my symptoms ( including fatigue ) have not been as bad...though I am still getting worse... just not as fast. But it could also just be a cycle of less decline and not due to the CellCept.

HAS ANYONE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SPS 9STIFF PERSON SYNDROME?) I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS DISEASE. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SPS IN DEC. 2006.

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).

5mg and tenofovir 300mg) and prograf, cellcept wysolone etc. Two months back entacavir was withdrawn and I am now treated with tenofovir, prograf(6mg), cellcept(1000mg) and Magnesium suppliment. Almost at the same time( 2months back) I suffered from maleria also. Since then SGOT and SGPT are gradually rising from normal level, and they are now 69 and 46 level( normal range is 4) and rose to 3.2 almost one month back but it goes down to 2.3 now. What could be reason?

I was diagnosed by open lung bx in 2001, I suffered ans was treated with plaquenil and methotrexate, after a while on steroids. seemed to get better, then the last year treated with a lot of respiratory problems, pneumonia and different types of flu. I am worried I feel worse than before, my labs show another onset after all this time. But also with raised lft's, and indicators do heart issues, my question is does cellcept work as well? does morbidity go up the second time around?

Because of the dual DX the Vanderbilt Neuro prescribed the CellCept while the VA deals with filling the RX and any other issues that come up ( brace for foot, Gabapentin for tremors, etc. ). Since the Vanderbilt Neuro is fee-based I can only see him when the VA approves visits ( usually 6-7 months in between visits ) and he also has no privileges at the VA. As such I can't go to the Vanderbilt Neuro if I am having some kind of problem.

Your transplant team can help identify these, but it becomes your job to follow-up on them, especially as time goes on. With luck you will be seeing less and less of your transplant team and more follow-up is with your own physician. You went through a lot to get the transplant, now is not the time to become complacent.

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.

you should be taking to a hepatologist there regarding what is happening with your hepatitis C virus reinfection in your new liver. It will be up to them as to when you will need to retreat, with what meds and how you will be monitored during the treatment process.

My father has been diagnoses a few days ago with some IgG4 related disease and is in really bad shape. His whole abdomen is frozen with fibroses, his intestines have stopped working completely. We haven't found anyone in Brazil that really knows how to treat it. I'm desperate after a specialist. His prognosis is really bad. I need to know if there's a small chance that he'll be able to recover, if anyone knows someone that has recovered after geting to this stage.

If so, then the treatment is optimizing doses and levels of cellcept and prograf and trying to minimize the use of parenteral corticosteroids.

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).

Has anyone heard of HSPurpura-I think it is Heinloch Schnlolein Purpura? My 5 year old was diagnosed with it in August of 2008. I don't see it listed as one of the autoimmune disorders and it is such a terrifying one! We finally found something to help and he is fine now, but I wonder how many other people have it and can't find help?

I have recently been diagnosed with vasculitis in both eyes. 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.
