Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Debby, See my message to Bozena re: Cellcept. Your heart shouldn't sink, as cellcept will help you keep on a lower dose of pred, which is what you want. I don't know what your doc has against cellcept, as it's basically just a stronger version of Imuran/Azath. I've been on it for about a year now, and am on 5mg pred, with normal blood counts! The only drawback of cellcept is the side effects. I can tell you about those another time. Now my AIH is under control my doc is considering putting me back on Imuran, as the cellcept is making me nauseaus, but that won't be for a couple of months at least.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Lu, thanks for the info. I read the insert you sent to Bozena and responded...thanks. But, my doctor wanted to keep me off of cellcept because it IS stronger than Imuran and I am so sick on Imuran. I am afraid that I will be sick on those too....BUT I am NOT going to go into a new med thinking that I am going to be sick. So, hopefully, the new med will work! Time will tell! debby [ ] Re: Dr. visit Debby,See my message to Bozena re: Cellcept.Your heart shouldn't sink, as cellcept will help you keep on a lower dose of pred, which is what you want.I don't know what your doc has against cellcept, as it's basically just a stronger version of Imuran/Azath.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 HI, Jody, I am SO sorry you're still dealing with this! Ugh. My understanding is that this LLMD has a practice in another location where he is on Fridays and weekends. This may be why you didn't hear. I have found emailing to be a little unpredictable - sometimes there's an almost immediate turn around (even on weekends) and sometimes it takes a few days. Hang in there. You can try both calling and emailing. It was hard for me to be patient sometimes - once I was literally in the ER and they couldn't get in touch with him. He's terribly, terribly busy, pretty much working singlehandedly. It's what our Lyme docs have to do. There is such a huge demand for Lyme Literate help. Keep trying to write them and call. You should get an answer soon. I really have to wonder about staying on the tetra! Your body does not seem to tolerate it at all! Good luck, I hope you feel better soon! Don't worry.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I am sure no one will be suprised to hear that my p/s told me that the symtoms that I have can not be related to my implants because I have saline implants. Does anyone know of a dr in Baton Rouge, LA that I can go to? Welch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
