Hello @sickirishlass, That's great news that you get to see the doctor July 28th. I am not familiar with CellCept (or mycophenolate mofetil) but found an article that discusses the use for Scleroderma patients.

Hi, @sickirishlass . I was put on CellCept several years ago. It was supposed to act like prednisone without the bad side effects . I slowly tapered off the prednisone and then had a big crash because CellCept wasn’t doing it’s job. Now I’m getting rituxan infusions and it’s doing a great job. I know that CellCept works for some autoimmune diseases and I just hope that yours is one of them
