Hi,
Just been to see my dermatologist today and have finally managed to persuade him that light treatment/ointments and creams are not working, he said he didn't want me to go on methotrexate so has prescribed me cyclosporine.
First time I've tried anything like this so I'm a bit unsure about it... The leaflet with possible side effects is of similar thickness to the bible!
Anyway he says this is a short term fix to try and get me clear then we can have a look at trying some biologic treatments.
Anybody had much experience with cyclosporine? i have quite a physical job down a mine and am just a bit worried it might knock me for six.
Cheers
Jamie
