I was not sure about
forum rules and did not want to hijack PeanutMom's post.
Re: Remicade and MCD. My GI not really sure but is checking w/Kidney Doc's at Mass General Hospital, both UC and MCD are autoimmune diseases diseases so who knows, with remi being so expensive and MCD being kind of rare, it is a unique opportunity.
however, my next step drugs for MCD are Cellcept and Cyclosporine, both of which I cant take with remi so if remi did not help my MCD I would have to get off it (and not be able to go back on it) to be able to try cellcept and cyclosporine and leave me only Humira and Cimzma which are not FDA approved and I heard that MGH no longer has the Humira study......so I couldd only get them if my insurance approved them off label. I want as many options as possible. If both cellcept and cyclosporine do not work then I will try remi.
I am so happy your husband is in remission, what drugs did he take to get him there? Is he a frequent relapser?
