Good morning
I do not have RA. I've been to see a rheumatologist and had negative test results. My sister suffers from RA and the symptoms sound very familiar. My liver numbers took an extreme jump about 1 year post transplant and my team were eliminating causes rather than just jumping right in. I do experience some joint pain and was told it is a side effect of the TAC. I am on a low dose and things aren't too bad. Hopefully that made sense.💕

Yes, @footballmum. That made perfect sense! I was just curious about transplant and RA after I read your post.
FYI - My immunosuppressant meds are adjusted occasionally. Just this past summer, my tacrolimus was reduced after nearly 5 years with no change!
