Hi hawkinse,

Sorry to hear you are struggling to take your mycophenolate.

Are you aware it can be prescribed in liquid form? As do lots of other medicines. It might be worth asking to see if this would be suitable for you.

There are lots of options available for treatment of Raynauds and Scleroderma, but only your doctor can advise you on your specific conditions.

After trying various meds, I'm happily settled with Sildenafil now. It does make a massive difference and doesn't give me any side effects.
