    I am not sure if what I experience is caused by the prednisone or Cellcept? I have been on prednisone since April (down to 20 mg daily) and starting in June Cellcept 500mg daily. The plan was to increase Cellcept to 500mg twice daily but I developed a stubborn Thrush infection so he said to hold off a while pending blood tests. (white blood count & glucose elevated)

    I also wake up during the night and have trouble going back to sleep, I bruise and bleed very easily, my face especially around my eyes feels swollen and puffy, I have gained weight, and it seems I am developing slight tremors in my hands. It is hard to know if my fatigue is due to sleeplessness or MG? All in all I count myself lucky that this is all that I have going on.
