You're welcome BobbyJD.

As per Hopeful's comment, I agree that cyclosporine taper question is a hard one - i.e. when/if to taper. I know of someone 9 years post-ATG that starts to relapse every time they try to quit the cyclosporine, and he gets better as soon as they put him back on it. He works full-time and is a volunteer fire-fighter, so he does very well, and it seems best he just keep taking the cyclosporine.

I'd sure like to try and taper mine, but another part of me is nervous to.

I hope your sister's BMB shows good results, and that her platelet counts start to rise.
