Clare, You need to see a doctor right away. If you are having kidney failure, that is not usually reversible. Do you have a good primary doctor? DO NOT go back to the rheumy for this!

Your kidney/liver functions need to be checked (I know, I'm repeating myself!), CPK, metabolic panel, CBC, blood pressure, and cholesterol.

How Can We Manage Hyperlipidemia and Avoid Rhabdomyolysis in Transplant Patients?

Drug "cocktails" can cause unforeseen effects. I suspect that the Cellcept might be the main culprit, but it's hard to tell. How long have you been on that drug?

If you are on a PPI (more than one?!!), you probably have low iron, albumin, B12, and possibly other vitamin deficiencies. The body need stomach acid.

This is most definitely not a MG thing. This is probably a drug-related thing or a drug unmasking another health problem.

You do not want kidney failure! PLEASE go in.
