Mycophenolate mental side effects
I've been back on
Mycophenolate
for around six months now and am beginning to suspect that it's causing insomnia and a bad feeling of agitation/stress that is quite difficult to cope with.

Noticed shaky hands and fingers
She's on Prednisolone since 2020 (tapered to 5mgs at the moment)
Mycophenolate
and also medications for her PH. Just finished 2 doses of Biologic infusion. Wondering if anyone has problem with shaking hands/finger problems and also a very hard bloated stomach(looking like 8mths pregnant!)

Stopping Prednisone
I had my kidney transplant 2-1/2 years ago and my lab tests are consistently good. I'm taking everolimus, mycophenolic acid and prednisone. The prednisone is causing weight gain, diabetes and, possibly, hair loss. I tapered down to 5 mg of prednisone over two years ago. I'm now wondering whether I can

The best of three evils: Which medication will cause me least grief?
APO-
Mycophenolate
, Esbriet (Pirfenidone), or Ofev (nintedanib). I unfortunately eat grapefruit for breakfast! Taking
mycophenolate
during a pandemic, seems foolhardy, and who is to say when the next pandemic will occur. I have a choice NOT to take this drug.

Mycophenolate
My consultant is quite keen on increasing me from 1000mg to 1500mg. Anybody had good results from increasing to this? I’m worried about hair loss, chills and being more vulnerable to covid-19.

Cytoxan(Cyclophosphamide
With the latest cocktail of meds, (prednisone,
mycophenolate
and Rituxan) his doctor thought the encephalitis would show improvement or be totally gone by now. His doctor is talking about taking him off
mycophenolate
and Rituxan and add infusions of Cytoxan.

mycophenolate
1000 mg Fexofenadine 360mg She’s now developed very sore ulcers all over her tongue, and back of her throat. My question is this likely to be a side effect to her meds?

Lupus and stress
I've even switched from Methotrexate to
Mycophenolate
in this time, and now am up to 3grams myco a day from 2grams. However, they have reiterated that all the medicine in the world will not make the same difference that reducing my stress levels would.

Lupus Nephritis and Cyclophosphamide
They're hoping to move me onto
mycophenolate
or rituximab once I'm done with the chemotherapy. My self esteem and body image are rock bottom at this point 😪.

Fourth Covid Vaccination
Mycophenolate
750mgs mane 500mgs nocte Prednisolone 5mgs OD. I’m concerned the efficacy of theJab will be reduced. How long, if recommended, can I omit the above medication or will I be at risk of a “flare” up of my Autoimmune Hepatitis? I await your response.

Lupus and Heart Disease: Why You’re at Increased Risk
“There is reason to believe that medications, such as hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, or
mycophenolate
mofetil, each of which are used for different presentations of lupus, can decrease heart risk by decreasing inflammation in the system,” says Dr. Fields.

When testing doesn’t give an answer..what next
They treated 22 PACA patients with an immunosuppressive drug called
Mycophenolate
, which reduces the immune response that causes the ataxia. This treatment is expected to prevent further damage to the cerebellum and salvage any sick cells.

Scared, Muscle Aches, Progression
I'm on the highest dose of
mycophenolate
mofetil and have been on this dose increasing for 6 months but my muscle weakness is a lot worse. I understand there is no cure. My rheumatologist says we can put it to sleep. But does this mean the skin tightening etc will still continue?

IV infusions and CNS Lupus
I didn't tolerate Methotrexate, Azathioprine and got a rash with
Mycophenolate
. All this time I have been up and down the steroid ladder - and have been taking 30mgs for sometime now. I now look like a chipmunk with chubby cheeks and want to cry every time I look in the mirror.
