Cyclosporine and Hemoglobin Count
I have the good fortune of reducing my cyclosporine dosage after almost three years. The surprising thing to me is that my hemoglobin count has gone up from the 8's and 9's to 10.3. Has anyone else experienced this? I am, of course, very pleased with the improvement.
Of course, the reason the cyclosporine was reduced was because I had to start Exjade for high ferritin levels. You think you are winning on one front but then the fight switches to another battle!
And Happy Birthday to me. Tomorrow I will be 72 years young and happy to still be on this planet!
