I did take CellCept (mycophenolate) for several months. It did give me a terrible upper respiratory infection. The prescribing doctor (not the one I am seeing now) took me off of it for about two months. During that time, the ankle wound became infected and it took a very strong antibiotic (the meropenem mentioned in the OP) to make that go away. At that time, I was also diagnosed with osteomyelitis, which is now gone.

As I said above, I will be closely monitored. Thanks very much for sharing your experiences.
