Hi Kim,
Sorry to here about your disease. I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I came out of remission last May. I have been on cyclosporine 250 mg for the past year with no results. (Except I have beautiful hair after losing most of it after being in the hospital for 5 months). I try every day to get up with a positive attitude on life, because you never know when it is your time. I had a bad response to my first ATG, my Dr. is scared about doing it again. On my next visit which will be in March they will decide if we need try it again. My sister is a match for the transplant but I am very scared to go that route before trying another treament of ATG. The first time I had the treatment we saw no results for almost a year,and after I went in remission for 2 years. They say this type of disease you have to be very patient as it takes along time for the treatment to work. But the treatment is only a bandaid and not A CURE. Well thanks for listening and good luck
Carol
