Is anyone here on Cytoxan for Lupus? |
Will this medicine definitely cause hair loss? Also what other side effects are you experiencing while undergoing this treatment? I have talked to the doctor about it, I just wanted to know from someone's personal point of view I guess. Thanks! I have been taking Cytoxan now for about 6 months and have not lost any hair. Taking this drug scared me too but to date I personally have NOT experienced any noticeable side effects and I am currentlly coming off of it. Good luck to you! My Mother passed away from Lupus. My sister and brother have it. Both of them took my advice and went to herbdoc.com and are using their incurables program and their doctors' are amazed that the causes of this disease are disappearing. All disease are curable, no matter what doctors' advice says. If you believe in the Bible there are 67 instances listed that say that the plants are there to protect you. Herbs and plants have been used around the world to help people heal themselves of diseases. Only in America is it unjust to help or heal yourself with herbs. In Europe 40 per cent of all people use herbs and so do the doctors' prescriptions. In Asia 80%. In America 5%, the rest of the people have been indoctrinated since birth to believe that only drugs or surgeries will help them. They are wrong! Cyclophosphamide (the generic name for Cytoxan, Neosar) is a nitrogen mustard alkylating agent, used to treat various types of cancer and some autoimmune disorders. It is a "prodrug"; it is converted in the liver to active forms that have chemotherapeutic activity. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease that is potentially debilitating and sometimes fatal as the immune system attacks the body鈥檚 cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. (Wikipedia) Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic, multisystem, inflammatory disorder of probable autoimmune etiology, occurring predominantly in young women. Common manifestations include arthralgias and arthritis; malar and other skin rashes; pleuritis or pericarditis; renal or CNS involvement; and hematologic cytopenia. Diagnosis requires clinical and serologic criteria. Treatment of severe ongoing active disease requires corticosteroids, often hydroxychloroquine, and sometimes immunosuppressants.
