Hi Gloria,
 
I remember my hem used to say that they prefer to have 'manageable' gvhd while on ciclosporin (that hints to be acute) as it is easier for them to adjust the dose accordingly.
 
However, if the gvhd is severed and occured too fast, that is bad too as it leaves no room/time for the hem to react.
 
If you hv tapered down ur ciclosporin, then whenever gvhd is encountered, they need to restart the 'full-dose' of ciclsporin again. that usually takes some tiem to tapered off (usually 6 months and above). For the unlucky ones, they might hv to be put on ciclosporin indefinitely.
 
So there is/are pro/cons abt the two.
 
Don't worry too much abt the gvhd, it will go away. Ii had those too. take a small step at a time. you'll see that u hv come so far ahead....don't give up.

I just found out today that at 3 1/2 months post bmt I have a mild
GVHD of the liver and also on the inside of my mouth.  I'm confused
with what I'm reading about chronic or acute. Which is the worst of
the two?

Thanks...Gloria
