Default Myfortic anyone??

Hi,

I am going to a neurologist at an MDA hospital that has suggested taking myfortic. Does anyone else take it for MG? He said that it is faster than Imuran, and does not cause liver toxicity. I did a search on here on this forum with no results of myfortic found. The side effects that he listed are diarrhea, lymphoma of leukemia, infections including severe brain viral reactions, and bone marrow failure. It's either take this along with my 20mg daily prednisone, or up the prednisone to 60mg tapering down. All the drugs that are available to take for myasthenia seem so harmful. The side effects of the immunosppressants are rare, but they are scary none the less.

Any comments are appreciated.

Hope you all are well.


Kristy
