Hopeful

Thank you for your response. I know it sounds a bit extreme as far as the taper goes but it seems that I have been stable for a long time. The insecurity of going off the cyclosporine is a lot scary. but I guess nothing ventured nothing gained. Hopefully if my counts go down quickly then I will be able to go back o quickly. It is interesting how to determine the therapeutic dose. Maybe all will be good. I have heard that sometimes cyclosporine has its own toxisity and suppresses the marrow itself. Not sure if this is antidotal or not but I guess with the rarity of AA all things are somewhat antidotal.
