Switched from Tacrolimus to Belatacept

Hi all,
I am suppose to switch to Belatacept next Wednesday. I’m really excited because besides the headaches, hair loss and flushing face, it is the tremors, and shaky body that I find very hard to tolerate. I am so curious if anyone has had any side effects from Belatacept. I am 10 months out on my kidney transplant and labs seem to be great. My Tacro is always in range now, but tremors are getting worse.
How long after starting on Belatacept before you noticed an improvement in side effects?
Thanks for the help.

@pjpanning, How are you getting along? I've taken tacrolimus for 15 years for my liver and kidney transplant, so I have no experience with Belatacept. So, I'm wondering whether you began the Belatacept prescription as planned for earlier in August. Have your tacrolimus side effects eased and how are the labs reacting with the Belatacept?
