Aloha,
There was a post on this board (IIRC) about the use of erythromicin to reduce gum swelling secondary to CsA. If you google "cyclosporine erythromycin gum hyperplasia", you can find some articles about it.
Of course, I don't know if using erythromicin is a good idea in your case, but it might be worth pursuing with the doctor.
Here's one link to a study I found:
