"I'm a 32 y/o male. I've been taking cyclosporine for about a week now, and it's let me keep my own platelets without any transfusions. The only side effects I've had so far are headaches and some abdominal pain. I have an autoimmune disease called ITP, which attacks my platelets."

Cyclosporine "After years struggling with acute eczema, I was prescribed UVB 3 times a week. It worked for a while, then the effectiveness wore off slowly. Years later, after trying several medicines/creams, I was prescribed Neoral 300 mg/day. Within days, I saw a remarkable recovery, within weeks, I was mostly cured. The side effects I suffer from are minute compared to the suffering I have endured previously with eczema. Most days, my hands/feet are burning, so hot they feel cold. Extreme temperatures, hot/cold seem to make it worse. When I wash my hands, I can't tell whether the water is ice cold or burning hot. Colds, flu, chest, ear, and throat infections make up most of my winters, but I still would prefer to take Neoral than have debilitating eczema."
