Myfortic

Or as I am now calling it, my kind of hell.  Day 9, and I still feel like complete garbage. Nausea, vomiting and exhaustion, oh my. I wasn't expecting the switch to take so much out of me, or to react so miserably to the new med. I've been doing my best to "tough it out". If I fail Myfortic, there is only one medication option left to try to control my AIH.

Humira and prednisone have been my lifesavers, even if now, my Crohn's is rebelling. I have started with pain in my ileum again, and now pain in my descending colon, which was inflamed during previous colonoscopies. Another big concern, is that I'm now going into 4 months on prednisone. My bones are not thrilled, nor are my docs. I will be on prednisone until at least October, making close to six months on a substantial dose. In. October, when we reevaluate my treatment plan, I will also be having a DEXA scan. It's also scary to think about what will happen to my Crohn's, when the prednisone is discontinued. It definitely has been helping to keep thing under control, even if I am currently having breakthrough.

For now, I hope and pray that the Myfortic works, and works well. Fingers crossed.

  1. I'm so sorry that you're going through such a rough time in your life right now. I'm on immune suppressants and recently just got out of the hospital because of a cold I couldn't get under control. The uncertainty and unpredictably of this disease alone can be very taxing emotionally and physically.

    I really hope you get well and that you find some kind of relief really soon.

    Best wishes,

    Jeff

  2. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
