Current ones are interferon beta 1a, rituximab, and high dose cyclophosphamide. Your neurologist needs to apprise you of the long-term side effects since prolonged therapy are required.

I have Auto immune hepatitis aswell and primary biliary cirrosis. I was on Azathioprine for two years but when my blood counts went up and I was to take 50mg morning and night, my body did not react well to the drug, so was put on Mercaptopurine. This was devestating and I started to go to liver failure. I am not on Cellcept which is Mycophenolate Mofetil 1g morning and 1g night. This is a fantastic immunposuppressant.
Also, I have IgA nephropathy and have been on low dose immunosuppressant (mycophenolate mofetil 250 mg twice daily) for the past 1.5 years.
4 days ago, I noticed a little bump in on my labia minora. and I thought maybe it was a boil and tried to break it. It is now pus filled and looks like a zit. its just the one. I have no tingling or itching tho there is some pain now after i messed abt with it which is kinda like the pain i feel with zits anywhere.
I am on 750 urso three times a day now.. I am 52. I am now on Cellcept (mycophenolate Mofetil) 1g twice daily. This is because the other meds like Azathioprine and Mercaptopurine disagreed with me intensely and I turned a beautiful shade of butterscotch and was oh so ill. This new drug has less chemicals in and suits me very well, in fact I walked 6 miles in Jordan as opposed to not even being able to get out of bed.

My impression is that initial HSV infections and recurrent HSV infections are both significantly more frequent in mycophenolate users. These are considered to be opportunistic, but not as serious as something like shingles. Moreover, they respond well to antiviral agents because mycophenolate actually potentiates such agents. I did not know any of this before but I know it now.
I know that part of your job here is to alleviate unwarranted anxiety.
Hi, glad you have been diagnosed, this can often get misses as indeed mine was for some time. I have PBC aswell which was what I was diagnosed with first.
I agree that you should always check on other suppliments. I only take cod liver oil tablets as a supplement with my meds.
Just a thought though, if you ever feel unwell on your meds, please do not be afraid to challenge your doc. I took mine as instructed and became so ill.

Acne is caused by high levels of androgens (hormones) common in teenagers and people in their 20s. Androgens stimulate the oil glands in the skin. Bacteria on the skin feeds off this excess oil, blocking the pores and resulting in acne.
The best way to treat this is with a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline to kill acne-causing bacteria. In addition use a topical retinoid cream called Differin (adapalene) which is very good at clearing up the redness and soreness.
Hello,
Dysplasia means change in the morphology of cells or an abnormality in development. This generally consists of an expansion of immature cells, with a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells. It is the earliest form of pre-cancerous lesion and it has to be found out whether it is a low grade or high grade dysplasia or malignancy.
I hope it helps.

Hey tiny677.
Welcome to the forum.
For immediate relief try coconut oil over the affected areas and wait till well absorbed before putting any clothing on.
Its antifungal and antimicrobial action combined with the healthy bacteria
from your skin, will help you get much needed relief.
For lasting relief you may want to see a professional that works in Energy Medicine as there's an energetic imbalance in your body- stemming from a previous trauma of sorts-that needs to be cleared.
From the description(dry, red, itchy), it seems like nummular dermatitis but exact confirmation has to be done first. Steroids prescribed in nummular dermatitis can worsen the symptoms if it is ringworm.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps.

For the last year I've had issues with my hands. It started between my fingers and now it covers the palms. I went to a dermatologist and they said it was eczema. They game me a cream and it didn't help. Idk what to do. It gets red bumps and it itches like crazy. My skin is also dry and peeling. I'm constantly having to wear lotion now and my pinky is getting swollen and if I bend it I get horrible pain and it causes my skin to crack and bleed. I'm out of options at this point.
