Hi Janers, Here is a site for you to look over. Hope this helps. From what I hear, CellCept is fairly mild. I don’t take it, as it came out long after my transplant.

Hi Janers, Is this a blood problem caused by the lupus? Have they tried IVIG? Fondly, BJ "Janers" <rojak…@bright.net> wrote in message

I was looking into cellcept as an option a few months back and found some interesting articles. most of them were animal studies, or all I could find were abstracts…a medical library is the way to go. when I talked to my doctors, one of them believed that it was just what I needed…the other (and more well-known for lupus treatment) said that he thought that methotrexate was doing it’s job slowly, and since I didn’t have renal involvement, cellcept wasn’t necessary. He did seem to think it was a good drug…and from the descriptions that all of my doctors gave me, it’s an inb between of methotrexate and cytoxan – kind of like the mid-level immunosuppresant (in terms of harshness)…I don’t know if that’s a precise assessment, but it’s the impression that i was given. all the medical journals I checked with about cellcept referred to organ-involved lupus being treated…not like mine…so that was the deciding factor for me. I have an interesting article called :Therapeutic advances in SLE…I can send it to you in the mail if you get me your address… I also have an article called: Mycophenolate Mofetil Suppresses Autoimmunity Mortality in the Female NZB x NZW F1 Mouse model of SLE. feel free to email me at norent…@yahoo.com hope this helps. -julia "Janers" <rojak…@bright.net> wrote in message
