The cyclosporine could very well be the culprit. I would question the cellcept, It could be fine but just a hunch. Here is more on cellcept and I didn't read anything about harming the transplanted kidney. either way knowledge is power.

Many, many thanks for all your support and encouragement. It has been a great help to know i can escape to here
and talk to people who understand the roller coaster ride of my emotions. Still feeling quite good but easily tired.
Apparently i'm very anaemic so they're going to put me on epo injections again.
I definitely feel better off the cyclosporin...no more shakes or trembles and feeling disorientated.
thx
