Hi Vicki,
Actually, by "differential diagnosis" I meant did they test for other things like vitamin or mineral deficiencies, viruses, etc. Given that they have found a 5q deletion now, this probably doesn't matter.
I am curious why you still take prednisone and why you are (were?) on such a low dose of cyclosporine. 5mg/kg of body weight/day is the typical therapeutic dose. However, this may not matter now either...except that you did initially respond to IST...
