I started my first dose today. I went from taking next to nothing to taking a ton of stuff. My lasix were not working so they gave me some extra to boost it. I refuse to take steroids so I happened to see this other doctor yesterday and he thought to put me on the cyclosporine and just give it a try. He told me he didn't know what Dr. Toto could do for me, but I am still optimistic. Although I will not be able to take this when I start trying for kids, hopefully it will work and keep me in remission. He told me I would get harry..... I thought, I can get that lazered off. Anything is better than moonface, and I get it bad! I was never big my entire life until steroids, and I can't stand it! I have read some positive things on here about people's experiences with the cyclosporine so I am being optimistic. They are horse pills, but I can handle that. Just wanted to blab a bit, as I was a bit worried I would get sick. I have a weak stomach, so all the meds are hard on me.
