Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Rita, Are you on 2 gms a day now with Cellcept? I thought you were and was surprised your Neph wanted to increase. I am supposed to be working my way up to 2 grams a day, but I think that is as high as I will go. You put me to shame with 50 minutes Rita! I only made it 36 minutes today :-) In a message dated 3/21/2004 7:35:27 PM Pacific Standard Time, ritanuch1014@... writes: > I managed to do 50 minutes on my treadmill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Rita, Good for you for the effort it took to stay on the treadmill 50 minutes. It is so hard to exercise when the fatigue is so great and you are to be commended for fighting to overcome that. I know it is not easy. On the Cellcept, that alone can cause anemia, not to mention the risk factor of anemia associated with compromised renal function. I am glad your Neph is keeping an eye on it. When I started Cellcept, My Epo was increased from a 5000 unit injection biweekly to 4000 unit injections every week in expectation of my levels dropping.
