[[treatment:Cyclosporin:58d19085e1f26a0906180bf4]]e is an old chemotherapeutic drug that during the stone age when I was a baby nurse required special gloves and training to handle. They seem to be interchanging it now for methotrexate which is another old chemotherapeutic. I took it to purposefully drop my immune response when I started remicade IV years ago as the theory was that you'd be able to take remicade longer without anaphylaxis or rejection. They had to reduce my dose and put me on ativan prior to taking it but I had no problem otherwise until the next rheumatologist- who was a quack- stopped the [[treatment:cyclosporin:58d19085e1f26a0906180bf4]] as unnecessary and I rejected the remicade and stopped walking again. Make sure your doc is watching your labs closely is my best advice.
