Medication...How long?

Okay, well neither of those is correct. LOL

Many people need to remain on low-dose pred to keep symptoms at bay-- 10mg or below-- but they don't need to stay on an immunosuppressant.

I asked Dr Seo about Cellcept a few months ago. It's still widely used and is as effective as mtx or imuran.

I am glad to hear Dr Seo,s comments regarding Cellcept.
I have been on it now for approx 18 months I nthink, I have lost track. I think it is time I came off it but each time I visit the rheumy I feel he does not want to upset the Status Quo

That might be a good plan for now. Dr Seo had me on Cellcept indefinitely since we thought it was working. Turned out I wasn't taking a high enough dose (I needed 3,000 mg and was taking 2,000 mg) and the Wegs was smoldering for 2 years. By the time we figured it out I was in a severe flare and had to go on ctx and then rtx.
