Hi Lynn,
It is my understanding that cyclosporine is generally well tolerated. Of course, there are always exceptions. Be sure not to exceed 5 mg/kg/day. You may have been on a much higher dosage 11 years ago, as the toxicity wasn't as well understood then. Unfortunately, it takes at least 3 months before you will know if it is working or not. I've never heard of it lowering someone's counts before raising them.
Best wishes!
