Day 71
The big consultant just told me a few minutes ago that they're going to start tapering me off the cyclosporin, hooray!!! It's about the only good news I have right now, being readmitted and looking at a possible 6-wks inside for liver infection. But I'll post that in my thread.
Anyway yeah he said they start to taper patients at around 2 mos who haven't shown any signs of gvh. I'm currently on 225mg per day and i'm looking forward to getting off cyclo entirely as it seems to be causing most of my other problems and half my meds are purely to counteract the cyclo side effects!
