I was then sent to a Specialist in Miami, Fl. He put me on 300mgs and then my counts started to go up. I have now been on 100mgs for close to 2 yrs. and my counts, as of last visit, were back to where they were before I was diagnosed. I consider myself very blessed. Sure hope your Mom will do well on cyclosporine. Please keep me posted. Will keep her in my prayers

THANK YOU so much for responding. Good news, her counts did go up this week. Plt went up to 24. While that's not astounding, they had been dropping 10 per week so an increase of 5 is great news. Also her WBC count hasn't been this high in two years. Thank you, and everyone, for your prayers. We're all in this together and this forum has been a real source of both knowledge and comfort for our family.
