I have been feeling miserable lately and I see that everyone here says cellcept works well. Maybe I should ask my new rheumy about it on Monday?? I take methotrexate and I get sooo sick from it.

Hi Christine. I've heard that Cellcept has considerable side-effects as compared to methotrexate, and need monitoring of drug level in the blood.

I hope you will recover soon, and have a nice weekend.

Marie

Hi Marie,

Thanks for the information. I will do some research on the Cellcept this weekend. And thanks for the well wishes.
