Hi Amy,
I am on Rituxan, but I don't know what Cyclosporine is. I was taking methotrexate with my Rituxan, but felt pretty lousy most of the time. I have been off of it for 5 weeks now. The doc said it will take 4-6 for it to get out of my system. He did say that there were other meds I could take besides metho.
I am doing really well on Rituxan. At first I experienced fatigue and nausa. This lasted for about 4 days. I have now had 4 IV's of the med and can't believe how "well" I feel...now that said...I am in a flare right now, but I also have Fibromyalga. Therefore, I am not sure which it is. Could it be that I have on the computer too long?
Going to Rituxan can be scary, but honestly other than the symptoms I described above, I would never know I had something so powerful working inside me. And I have been on several other meds, like you.
Have a happy weekend:) Arlene
