I took Cyclosporine for 2 months. I went to the doctor because I was bruising for no reason. The 1st dr. couldn't figure it out because my marrow looked okay to him so he said we'll just treat it as pernicious anemia, keep taking B12 shots. I said, "Forget that, I'm going to Cleveland Clinic." After 2 more biopsies that didn't show anything obvious except a hypoplastic (?) environment, the dr. there said that it was a very subtle presentation of the disease and put me on the Cyclosporine.
Tranfusion was 2 days ago. I woke up today feeling normal for a change.

Hopeful, do you get used to the Cyclosporine, or do you always feel the side effects?
