Good Morning, Hugh. I want to welcome you to Connect and to let you know that "I get it- the memory thing".
I'm taking tacrolimus (Prograf) which has worked well for me for 16 years, and I have no experience with Advigraf. However, I have the memory thing and remember being told \by my transplant team that multi-tasking was my problem, and that I should stop multi tasking and focus on one thing at a time. Hmmm - I try to do that, and I've learned make lists of things I want to accomplish. (Yes, I misplace those). Glasses, keys, iphone,... are my downfall.
Hugh, Another thing to consider is whether your transplant team has drawn labs to check if the current dose of the Advograf is too high for you. Dosage adjustment might be part of your current memory concerns. I think you should discuss your memory concerns/new medication with your transplant team.
Are you able to contact your nurse coordinator? When is your next appointment?
What is their plan for follow-up with this newer medication?
