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).

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.

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. I am starting at 500mg for 5 days, then 1000mg for 5 days, blood work, and then 2000mg. Most websites don't speak specifically about vasculitis of the eyes. All autoimmune disease tests came up negative. I want to know more about this disease.

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. Of course I don't have any kids running around so I'm not exposed to a lot of illnesses.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

Thanks for the website I checked it out and there is alot of information. I have been given several differant meds but afraid to take any. Oxycodene, Gabapentin, Amitriptyline, Hydroxycholroroquine. I do take a multi-vitamin for anemia. Yes the ANA came back positive Pattern: Nucleolar Titers >1:640 SED 13, SS-A 0.4 and SS-B >8.0H AI. Lip biopsy came back positive for Sjogrens.

I know you all must get tired of all of the complaints I have about my health care at the VA. But I need to vent or I'll lose my mind. A few weeks ago my PC started me on Dicyclomine at 10mg 3x a day for my IBS. Well it helped some so I tired taking 20mg before my meals. It worked and I was able to eat without any IBS symptoms. I explained this to my latest PCP at the VA and she got all in a huff because I didn't ask before trying this.

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?

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?

My husband had autoimmune hepatitis and had liver transplant in March of 2003, he is doing well however, he stopped taking his meds 3 months ago because the meds is very expensive as he say, now he went back to take his meds that is Cellcept and Prograf . He now is feeling pain on his left side of his belly and it is really like distended and hard.and very warm to touch. His belly like shifted to the left ever since he had the surgery.

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.

One more thing I have to worry about is infections due to being on CellCept of my MS. So it tends to freak me out a little bit when I get the chills as that could indicate I am running a fever. Me thinks that maybe I am having a flare? Thanks for listening.

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.

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

The cost of post-transplant drugs depends on your health insurance coverage and if the meds are on their formulary. You can call your insurance company and they can give you the exact prices now. Keep in mind formularies can change usually during end of year and beginning on year. So what is covered now may not be covered next year. Also many post-transplant drugs have generic versions. Liver transplant centers usually have their own preferences for drugs and generic or not.

I know of one man who after 5 years stopped taking his prograf. He's 9 years out and doing fine. He's lucky he had a donor whose liver was a perfect match for him, he had no rejection episodes, etc. It's a risk but research is ongoing. Having had my daughter as my live liver donor, and no rejection episodes, I think I'd be a good candidate and am very interested in this subject. Currently I'm on .5mg prograf twice daily, the lowest dosage possible.

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?

There are many medications out there that are not FDA approved for what they are being successfully used for. Cellcept is another one. I did not do well on Cellcept but a woman I met online that lives in North Carolina claims that is the medication that put her into remission a few years ago. How have you done on Imuran so far? What dosage are you on? Has it caused your ANA to go down? Are your symptoms gone or at least under control?

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,.....
