Hi everyone
I haven't posted since last year when my husband, Jim, went thru his 2nd round of ATG (horse this time). This time the doc has kept him on cyclosporine so he seems to be having more success than the previous time without. The cyclosporine dose was lowered once, hemoglobin dropped, cyclosporine increased now better.

My concern is that he really seems to have had a significant decline mentally.
Maybe it's just age related (only 58), or maybe due to high ferritin numbers,
or perhaps it could be a side effect of the cyclosporine?? He has no recall of something we discussed the day before. I wanted him to try some memory
boosters like gingko maybe but he's concerned that any supplement he may take would interfere with the immune suppressing qualities of the cyclosporine.

Of course we'll check with his doctor before trying anything at all but I was curious as to whether this was a symptom others have encountered.

Thanks for indulging my codependence.
