@bobweller could you ask your transplant team if there are other immune suppression meds that would have less side effects? Many new ones are coming out over the past 24 years.

Years ago I tried another immune surpressant but found I was allergic after 4 weeks. With others, my understanding is there is not real good blood test to monitor med levels. Tacrolomus can be measured in the blood so they can identify how much you need. I am fortunate that I never suffered a rejection episode in 24 years and I try to keep the med levels below the normal minimum with my doctors.
