Itching that can't be control all the time. Talked with dermatologist and my primary Dr. and have done everything they suggested. Headaches the primary Dr. has control with meds.. Muscle aches, stiff and sore joints. Could control with medicine. Just feel if I need to take this much medicine I need to try something else besides tacrolimus. Did I mentioned it all goes away if I drop back to the original dose I started out on.
I have seen and talked with my transplant team recently . Plus blood samples every 2-3 wèeks.

@s7r3welty, I just had a thought - I wonder if you might present your doctor(s) with a daily record of the side effects that you are experiencing (dates/times) as well as the treatment involved. There might be a pattern that will provide a hint as to what is going on. Also include the time of any medications (prescribed and over counter) that you take.
