I did the high dose cytoxan (immune system reboot) in November of 2010. It was fairly quick, harsh and effective. I remain so much better than I've been in a decade. I do, however, continue to use Cellcept and IVIG--they just work now!

I know of one person who did the monthly infusions X6. The side effects were harsh and the treatments were not effective.

I also know of someone who used oral cytoxan over the course of a couple of years. Worked like a charm, not really any bad side effects, but all the good results went away as soon as she stopped it.

Lots for you to think about.
