I'm on cellcept, have been for 1 1/2 years, to save my kidneys and hopefully rpevent yet another flare. i've had 3 major flares all attacking my kidneys, one involving a stroke and neurpathy, all involving anemia. i really fall apart when the lupus takes over, so if cellcept can prevent a 4th flare, that would be great.
in high doses it gave me diarrhea so we had to cut from 2000mg a day to 1500.
i'm still concerned about developing lymphoma because of cellcept.
