Switching CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) for Sirolimus (rapamycin)?

@hello1234 I had my appointments yesterday and they went pretty good. I had 2 more biopsies ugh. They were satisfied with my test results. I have always had low blood pressure. In the last months it has gotten pretty high. High blood pressure can be very hard on kidneys. They said they will make an appointment with nephrology. I received a message today and they can’t get me in for almost 3 months. I am not very happy about that. Sent a message to my primary care giver and asked him if he can get me an earlier appointment at Mayo in Lacrosse, WI. I also need to have something that showed up on my mammogram looked at. Now that has never happened before. Guess I just have to roll with the punches.

Hi @rachel5239
I am happy to hear your appointment went pretty well. It seems every appointment involves two or three biopsies for me too. Tell me about your high blood pressure. How high? You sound like me. When I was younger and before my transplant and immune suppression meds, my blood pressure was always on the low side. Lately, my pressure is high. I think some of my high blood pressure is from gaining about 10 pounds of necessary weight, too much stress, and not enough exercise. I need to commit to making a few changes in my diet, exercise and stress management. Are you having the same issues or do you think you will need a BP medication to bring it down? I guess it depends how high your pressure is getting?
