Ciclosporin side effects longevity

Hi Ian, I have taken all 3 & in the end decided to Stop !! As the side effects took over my life. With the Ciclosporin the effects went after about a month. Everyone is different though , my main effects were due to my mental state & the overwhelming feelings I encountered. I know people who encountered minimal effects. Good luck

Thank you for your insights. I think I'm approaching Ciclosporin with trepidation having found Methotrexate and Acetrertin so awful. Hopefully third time lucky.

I have had a similar experience with Ciclosporin, and eventually it lost its efficacy, only for the condition to flare up worse than ever. I have just made a post about eating blueberries, my miracle cure, I recommend you take a look and try it.

For what it's worth, I had Ciclosporin and it worked extremely well - 96% clear and had no side effects for over three years. I did at that time, start getting the bleeding and swollen gums , but it was not bad. I'd still be on it if I was allowed! The Methotrexate has given me a bad liver report after 8 months, so I'll probably have to come off it. Only calmed down the areas, no real clearance overall... Acetretin was a nightmare! It felt like my whole hands were one big blister where the top layers of skin would float over the lower ones. And severe cracked lips too. Horrible. Good luck with whatever they give you.
