: I recently saw my Dr again and he said he did not think that REMICADE would help me since ENBREL did not work very well and they are essentially the same thing. Now he is recommending that I look into taking Cyclosporine. He said it is hard on the liver and needs to be monitored closely. Is anyone out there taking or taken this drug? How does it work? Did it help your pain? I will probably ask to to put me on it at my next appointment. Please let me know if you have any info. Thanks

I didn' try it because my Doctor said the most common side effet was increased blood pressure.
