Accuracy of Tacrolimus trough and tacro vs cylco
I am also considering switching to
cyclosporin
because of hair loss. How do the two compare? Side effects, testing, and other issues? I know both are poisons, but needed to protect my kidneys. I also know that side effects vary, I'm just trying to get an idea of what I may be trading for. Thanks

My Recovery so far post Stem cell Transplant
The day before my transplant I had my first doses of
cyclosporin
to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) and almost immediately I started to feel nauseous.
Cyclosporin
is dispensed as a very large gel capsule and the smell is revolting.

SCT update
I just wanted to give you an update following my SCT. I am now on day +202, it is a slow recovery, which I knew it would be, but I am definitely having more good days when I don’t feel so tired & manage to go for a walk most days for about a mile. My hospital visits are now every 2 weeks, my ciclosporin

Facial Hair growth due to Cyclosporine
My doctors told me it could due to steroid or
cyclosporin
but more likely due to cyclosporine. I have taken Steroids before and I know hair growth caused by it stops as it's s dose is tapered.

Prednisolone some effects
My partner has had cancer 3 times in 3 years and has been on prednisolone since September. She started on 55mg per day, down to 10mg per day.

Type Two Diabetes - “Some artificial sweeteners can raise your blood sugar”
Tacrolimus and
Cyclosporin
are calcineurin inhibitors. So there might be a connection between anti-rejection medication and the function of CRCT2. This is all still rather new, and medical research is still very much on-going.

Gout control after transplant
I had a transplant about 10 years ago. So far so good. God sent. But, I had a third gout (last one was 6 years ago) about 9 days ago after the transplant partially due to Cyclosporine. I took Colchicine to treat the flare this time on the 7th day as symptoms got worse on the 5th day. After 0.6 mg Colchicine

Sjogrens etc
I would be very grateful for advice...it's probably something I should know already. I have Sjogrens, probably Lupus (or some sort of overlap) and Hashimoto's. I feel pretty rubbish quite a lot of the time...but know that I need to really think about what I can do to look after myself to try to avert

Tacrolimus vs. Cyclosporine
Does anyone take Cyclosporine instead of Tacrolimus? I have recently made the change to Cyclosporine in order to grow back my very thin hair. Tacrolimus caused my really good head of hair to thin and fall out.
