TonyBegg, you're doing a great thing by thinking ahead about what questions you'll have for the doctors when your wife is released from the hospital! Just wanted to jump in about the smell of cyclosporine (skunk is right!), which I found pretty awful when I was taking it. If your wife is taking the liquid form, I suggest mixing it with something strongly flavored like chocolate milk or orange juice to mask the smell and the taste. If she has the capsule form, she can open the capsules and let them air out for a while (maybe 30-60 minutes) to let the worst of the smell dissipate before she brings them near her mouth. Eventually, I got used to the smell and just popped the capsules in my mouth, trying not to think too much about it.
Regards,
Ruth
