THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW I GET ON BUT HAPPIER IF THAT MAKES SENSE DEE x
PS FORGOT TO SAY WG CONSULT TOLD USE THAT HE INHERITED A PATIENT FROM ANOTHER PART OF UK WHO HAD BEEN ON CXT FOR SEVEN YEARS !!!!!! they had used cxt low dose as maintainence drug!!!!!!!!
thanks Jack ten months on cxt and six on mtx was enough for me and i know preds tappering has to be slow but i will go with that
i ask at pharmacy the best time to take talets and he said atleast twelve hours apart is that what you do ?
Dee glad things went well for you. I take cellcept morning and night about 12 hours apart. I am on 2000 mg of cellcept. That is awful to hear about the guy on cytoxan for 7 years.
Dee, I'm SO glad you're getting off ctx. I'm also glad they're not tinkering with the pred until you are established on Cellcept.
Reading about the Weggie on ctx for 7 years actually made me shout out loud. Apologies to my dogs and bird.... The doctor(s) who did that should be sued. Anyone doing a cursory search of ctx and Wegs on the internet can see that is outrageous. That poor person. I wonder if they even know...
My guess they did not know. I would not know if I was not informed by my doctor and this forum. My local Rhuemy told me all the complications being on cytoxan...plus having a kidney transplant for 21 years and all the immunusuppressant meds I have been on just add up to be a bad deal.
Even my lousy first rheumy explained it all to me.... Man, I feel so bad for this person.
