There are reasons why they took you off cyclosporine that probably have not been discussed. Cyclosporine is a far more dangerous drug than MTX. Typically a year is max they will keep on it. The drug is not only harsh on the kidney it rots away the heart.
Localized pp is extremely difficult to treat. While I understand the reasons for changing meds, I don't understand why they didn't give to a tapor of prednisone or something to ease you into the new treatment plan (unless they intended for it to fail).
Hope things get better...
I was totally unaware about Cyclosporine rotting the heart. And not sure what prednisone is.
I'm going to have to do some serious research.
On a lighter note: can't help wondering if my post has caused a tingling in jiml's pocket. *snigger*
