Hi Everyone:

Has anyone had headaches as a side effects from cyclosporine or withdrawal from cyclosporine?
My husband has developed cluster type headaches about post MUD stem cell transplant for MDS, AML, about two months out.
They did a mri and it came back ok, and put him on some pain meds but are
not helping much.
Any ideas.::confused:
Christine, wife and caregiver
PS, his counts are all OK as well as magnesium etc.

Recommend also seeing a eye specialist to check for problems in the eyes. One young lady I know had headaches constantly following consolidation chemo, she ended up having a detached retina. Was it causing her headaches? I don't know. She had headaches, then, developed seeing black spots and more "Floaters". I don't know if it's related, but, it's just a suggestion.... see the eye specialist to rule out any eye problems.

Good Luck,
Cindy
