MemberYes I have those done every 2 to three months. MY RBC Hemoglobin and Hematocrit is low but my WBC came down from 11.9 to 5.7 recently. Recently tough my Immunoglobin levels high but Neurologist not too concerned..however, I recently got Covid and since then been having quite a few issues….and have all the symptoms below….so I just wondered?
So tired…..more so than usual. muscle weakness, numbness and tingling in hands and feet and carpal tunnel diagnosed, extreme shock and stress as a death in family also happened. Some have said listen to your Neurologist….(perhaps but they are not always right!)my point is that I took myself off for quite a while and got better I thought. anyway im going to suggest Plasmapharesis at a later stage or see if I have developed something else Auto immune or blood related as in macroglobulemia as a trace was found in a blood test a few months ago suggesting I see a blood person.
What to Know About CellCept (Mycophenolate Mofetil)
Some of the more common side effects of CellCept include:
<ul type=”disc”>
- Stomach problems like abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea,
and vomiting- Blood pressure
problems- Swelling of the
legs and feet- Rash
- Headache2
· Risk of Serious Infection
· People receiving immunosuppressants like CellCept have an increased risk of developing certain infections.6
· For example, they might be more likely to get a bacterial or fungal infection. They might be more prone to certain infections that would not affect someone with a normal immune system. There is also a risk that a viral infection that had been dormant in the body (like hepatitis B) might become active.
· These risks are part of taking immunosuppressive medications. Although these medications are highly effective at preventing organ rejection and toning down the immune system response, that also means that the immune system cannot respond as well to certain infections.
People taking CellCept may have a slightly increased risk of getting certain kinds of cancers, especially skin cancers and lymphomas. The potential increased risk of cancer is a risk for many immunosuppressant drugs, not just CellCept. CellCept may even pose less of a risk than other options.
