I have been on the generic brand of cyclosporine and they have now switched me to Neoral so will be interesting to see if this has any impact.

Prednisone is a right nightmare of a drug....thankfully my side effects have not been too bad but I just do not want to be on it for too long. It seems to cause me chest pain on the right side which the doctors seem to think is heartburn of some sort.

Marmab I also hope that your hip does not get any worse. So sorry to hear about that. I am also going to look up about the high retic count and hemolysis as my doctors have not mentioned this they have more suggested that the high retic count is an indicator that my bone marrow is trying to make up for the rbc's being destroyed by the hemolysis and is a positive sign that my bone marrow is working .... ??? ....
