Has anyone had this and did you get a long term remission or any releif from symptoms.
Not having cyclo as I still want more kids with my wife.
I am a bit worried but at this stage the inflammation is so high I have no choice.
Cheers.
I'm kind of in the same boat with you. My wegs specialist in Cleveland has recommended the same treatment. I'll be working with my nephrologist here in Columbus and new insurance carrier. Could get interesting in that regard. I did 16 months of cyclo after dx, so that drug is no longer an option. (My wife and I are in our mid-60s, so family planning wasn't a concern.)
Let's keep each other up-to-date on how our treatments go.
Good luck and better health.
