Hi, Paula.

It's good to know that Jorge is doing well after ATG. Hawaii Bill is right that magnesium and potassium supplements are usually needed with cyclosporine. I got magnesium by IV for months, which took a lot of time, until the doctor said, "You know you could take magnesium tablets instead." What a relief that was!

As I recall, the prednisone I took with my cyclosporine provided more than enough stimulation for my appetite. It would be worth asking the doctor about this. Maybe Jorge should try to be a little more active each day as he is able to.

Regards,
Ruth
