Anybody had much experience with Cyclosporine

[jiml]

hi again everyone,

Been a while since I've been on..... basically the cyclosporin cleared all of my psoriasis apart from my scalp, this summer has been brilliant! Shorts and T-shirts everyday with not even the slightest bit of paranoia!
To anyone who is wondering about wether to try this drug i would definitely recommend it, its been brilliant for me, haven't really suffered any side effects.

Anyway... Had an appointment with the derm last week and he said i am being taken off the cyclo as long term there are risks for liver damage, i am going to be trying a topical treatment, he mentioned one that was injected.

Anybody know which one i am likely to be trying first up??

Cheers

What great news, that it worked so well for you and gave you a good summer of enjoyment in the sun

Cyclosporine isn't one that I have tried. But it's good to read good reports about it, what a shame you are being taken off it

I don't think you meant topical treatment, but systemic treatment which is likely to be injectable

The injectable you may get is possibly methotrexate. Or one of the biological drugs Humira , or hopefully Stelara .....what ever it is I hope it will work as well as the cyclosporine
