Has cyclophosphamide followed by azathioprine stopped being used for the treatment of WG?
In reading the recent question 'WG remission experiences', I wondered why nobody mentioned azathioprine - I was given azathioprine after being informed that being given
cyclophosphamide
long term caused more problems than it solved.

Painting & decorating?
Before starting
cyclophosphamide
, I decided to blitz through painting all of my doors and frames. I thought I would get it out of the way before my lungs deteriorated any more (I have lung fibrosis as a result of scleroderma). To my astonishment, my breathing got easier with gloss paint fumes.

neurologist's letter
I note that she actually had a single course of
Cyclophosphamide
and then rapidly went on to Rituixmab. I have found Rituixmab to be helpful but I have one patient who unequivocally responded to Cyclo but has not to Rituximab.

Plasmapheresis
I was first given
cyclophosphamide
and then quite quickly Rituximab, once I had the Rituximab I was transferred to a different rheumy (something to do with biological drugs I think). I have brought up the plasmapheresis with his team once but they dismissed it.

Has anyone taking cyclophosphamide suffered from tinnitus as a result?
I have CNS vasculitis and shortly after starting
cyclophosphamide
I developed tinnitus. I have had it for nearly 3 years now and I just wonder if it is a side effect of this particular drug?

Feeling like nobody cares?
I recently had a rather large argument with my boyfriend, as he told me that I talk about my Scleroderma and
Cyclophosphamide
treament too much and it 'tires' him. This made me feel like I winge and moan, when I know don't.

Seen this on the internet - positive as it Highlights Lupus. Men may find this useful with Lupus SLE
Immunosuppressive drugs may also be used (with or in place of steroid treatments), such as
cyclophosphamide
(Cytoxan®), azathioprine (Imuran®), cyclosporin A, and mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept®).

Cyclophosphamide side effects
Hello all, I recently started Cyclo treatment in Dec, so far so good! But I have recently started to get little red spots appear on my arms and lots on my chest. Since last night, (my boyfriend noticed) that I now have a cluster of blood spots under my skin in the middle of my chest, about 20 or so

Trying Thalidomide for cerebral vasculitis
Cyclophosphamide
was ruled out initially for fertility concerns (I was only in my early 20s, and hoped to have children), then more recently for fears of worsening my already very severe bladder incontinence from the brain damage.

My experience with cerebral (CNS) vasculitis
Cyclophosphamide
was initially ruled out for fertility concerns - I was very young, and married, and hoped to have children sometime.
