Hello Everyone,

I've had 3 infusions of cyotoxan and progress on my GPA isn't what my rheumy would like to see, so she is considering putting me on the oral version. I would love to hear more about strengths and weaknesses of this approach. My rheumy says I'll take regular doses every day and while it will hit the GPA harder and more consistently then my monthly infusions, it will have more intense side effects. Would love to hear about your experiences.

More about me:
- I'm currently on 15 mg of pred daily
- My main symptom is inflamed sclera of my right eye. I go get runny noses from time to time
- The pred and the cyotoxan do a good job of controlling the symptoms, but the eye is healing very slowly
- My side effects from cyotoxan have been tiredness for 2-3 days, a bit of nausea, a slightly reduced immunity, nothing that has kept me from living my life.
- Being treated by UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) doctors. Great job by them.

Thank you in advance. Y'all have a great day!
