For those of you taking currently or have taken Cellcept, what was your experience like? I know if you're taking it, it's probably for organ damage. I am taking it for an unusual reason and that is to try to knock out high fevers that have been plaguing me for 3 months now. I've been in the hospital twice for about a week each time. They've given me the max amt of steroid intravaneously. This seems to help temporarily but then the fevers come back. They have ruled out every possible infection. They suspect the fevers are lupus related (even though they are extremely mysterious because lupus fevers usually just don't get that high) because all my levels have been down and I had to have a blood transfusion for my anemia, white blood cell count and platelet level was really low. I am definitely in a bad flare. They did a kidney biopsy and my kidneys are inflammed, but not damaged. Leaking a lot of protein. So i'm definitely in a flare, if they could just figure out these fevers. I'm taking 60 mg of prednisone right now along with the Cellcept. So far I have had no adverse reactions. Just some stomach pain if I don't take it on an empty stomach. I have heard some good things about Cellcept, so hopefully that will help me knock these fevers out. If not, we are thinking of the Mayo Clinic. But I would like to hear anyone's experience, good or bad with the Cellcept. Today my doc just doubled my dosage to 2000 mg a day, 1000 in the a.m. and 1000 in the p.m.
