I was just placed on Cellecept last week- 500 Mg 4 times a day-
for my autoimmune muscular myopathy- I was a body builder 6 months ago- now I can barely make it across the Target parking lot.
I am sure the myopathy is Statin induced as I was on Lipitor-)rather than Prednisone as my doctor said less side effects.
He said I should see improvement in about 6 weeks- is any body taking Cellcept for autoimmune disease?
Thank you.
PS; So far- side effects seem to be weakness- more shakiness-

Night sweats! Horrible! Depression and sadness, yes...but never linked it to the ring. On the ring for 7 weeks when experienced racing heart and shortness of breath. Friend who is a nurse suggested it could be related to the ring. So immediately I removed it. Started having horrible night sweats immediately and have continued practically every night for 2 weeks. Have had xray, ekg, blood tests....nothing abnormal found. Convinced it was from NR.

I was on augmentin for 6 days for an ear infection. I did not develop diaharrea but severe pain in my upper abdominal, with nausea and some vomiting. I will never take it again.
