Hi Leelsay,

I had the burning hands/feet and was really jitterly, but it was from too high a dosage of Cyclosporine. I was extremely sensitive to touching water. Cyclosporine can also cause high blood pressure. What dose did you start on?

Prednisone is miserable! I had a lot of weird side effects that went away weeks after stopping it. I think it causes low blood pressure.

I had intense joint pain intermittently about a month ago that would wake me up at night. Soon after, my counts started to rise. I've heard that it is a common symptom in pediatric leukemia patients as cells fill the marrow. I hope that is your case and not AVN!

Best of luck!
