Common Questions and Answers about Cellcept uveitis
cellcept
You asked for responces from people diagnosed with uveitis. I certainly have a lot of patients with uveitis including a 24 year old with bilateral acute iritis that came in last week.
There may be more we don't know about uveitis than we do know. Many schools of medicine have an ophthalmologist that specializes in unveitis. A rheumatologist is also helpful.
You live in New Jersy there are a lot of good ophthalmology departments in that area.
I've been diagnosed with nodular scleritis and anterior uveitis. At this point in time I have no inflammation. However I have triple vision in that eye and I see straight lines wavy. I aso see for instance cars 100 feet further and 1/2 the size so it appears that my depth perception is off. I also have a large staphyloma from 12 to 2 with a small spot of significant thinning.
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.
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.
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.

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?
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?
actually be experienced by pwMS, if it is caused specifically by MS is difficult to pin down, the uveitis stats are quite small when they are looking at a possible connection for uveitis as a sx of MS.
To explain what i'm trying to say, one example of the disparity would be the larger number of dx uveitis patients in a study and the MSers are commonly in the minoriety eg 1267 uveitis patents and only 41 dx MSers. Which is just over a 3% sample base and means the other 96.
Shingles (herpes Zoster) can cause uveitis but generally only if the attack is on the face near the eye such as involving the upper and lower eyelid. If on the back or stomach or below the waist not likely a cause of eye uveitis.
Stress does not cause uvieitis. If it did there would be huge outbreaks following stress induced disasters like the earthquake in Haiti.
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've recently been diagnosed with Uveitis after experiencing eye pain and loss of vision in my left eye.
The resident opthamologist I saw 2 days ago told me it's probably a result of a "systemic" underlying condition and prescribed a regimen of medicinal drops in order to treat this aggressively. He wouldn't say if the damage was permanent. Does any one know what the chances are for me to regain my vision?
Based on retrospective studies with cohorts of n ≥ 1,000 patients, we estimate that the prevalence of MS among patients with uveitis is ∼1%, and the prevalence of uveitis among patients with MS is ∼1%, which in both cases is considerably higher than in the general population according to studies on prevalence in western countries.
Results from larger studies are to be assumed as the closest to a true estimate.
I saw three ophthalmologists, inluding a Chairman of tesahing Hospital and many so called uveitis specialists inNY area.They treated me as new onset uveitis at 58,while I was detatching retina. None sent me Retina.
I saw one on friday and on saturday morning there was curtain.
I had some pain but never classical uveitis inflammation. The chairman said he does not see inflammatory cells but still treated me as uveitis.
Do you think they should have thought of tear masquedring??
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,.....
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 have now had 5 bouts of acute uveitis since the end of April, a little over a month. Despite a course of oral prednisone, steroid drops X 3 per day and 1500mg of antivirals, I still got another attack last night. Ironically, yesterday I had a followup with the doc and he lowered the drops and pills to twice a day because the eye looked perfect. Why does this keep happening?
I have had uveitis (inflamtion in both eyes ) for 3 yrs now been living on predasone drops and ive had blood test to run out different diease's and to this day no one seem's to know what is causing this. it all started after i went to chiroprator and he poped my neck and 5 mins my eye's went red and was in ER with inflamtion in eye . can having your neck poped cause this . my left eye is now having blurry vision . will this ever go away?
