@cicimee2 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m so glad you found us and could see an example of how MCC works. We all share information on our illness and the journey we’re on. There are no doctors on this program so no one can or should prescribe medications. Do you have any more questions for the group?
What specific drug are you asking about? The cellcept is definately for autoimmune issues. I was told that diarrhea with cellcept could be very dangerous because diarrhea is a side effect of cellcept. Did you have a colonoscopy to determine cause of diarrhea? My colonoscopy showed that the cause was not cellcept but EPI-exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. But, I remained OFF cellcept and ON Myfortic just to be safe.
Sounds ‘clear as mud’, doesn’t it? Let me know what your doctor says/does. I’ll be thinking of you!

I just have started Myfortic - enteric coated tablet - and coincidentally I have developed bright red spots on my cheeks. I do not have lupus, or any condition that may be causing it. Did anyone have a reaction like this to Myfortic?
