Eculizumab for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria "This drug is for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), but the disease is heterogeneous. I feel worse being on it. Doctors push it, patients just do it. It is too much work. I never should have started."

Eculizumab for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria "Immediate improvement after 2 infusions, with an increase in hemoglobin / hematocrit. After vaccines for HepA and HepB 2 weeks prior to receiving treatment, I was given 4 weekly infusions, then 4 bi-weekly infusions which brought all my numbers into normal range. I was moved to treatments every 8 weeks, which continue. First 4 infusions were 600 mg. Infusions following have been 900 mg. I have experienced face flushing and increased energy with some agitation for 1 to 2 days following each infusion. I am retired and treatments are covered by Medicare and my supplemental Blue Cross / Blue Shield policy."

Eculizumab for Myasthenia Gravis "I have been taking Soliris for about 5 years. It has been great. I have only had to have pheresis and IVIGs a couple of times since I started it. I have the side effects though. I have a new symptom, which is burning feet. I don't know if it's from the drug or not?"
