I been taking Cellcept for years too, but it doesn't help me. I've tried telling my Rheumatologist, but he doesn't hear me. Just keeps telling me to stay on it. I do believe it wrecked my immune system because I've had an open wound or my right heel for over a year now and wound care doesn't seem to know how to heal it.
Im so glad you responded. Im having strong feeelings to NOT take thid drug. Im 71 and been ok for the most part. Yes I have some really bad days but rather have them then fight a drug my system cant handle. Thank You
I have been taking it for years too and it has helped me as well. When you first start it, it can be harsh on your stomach but you usually start off lower on the dose and go up if needed that also helps that side effect.
I have been taking Cellcept for several years with no common side effects. It has helped keep me out of the hospital and my kidneys stable.
