@wildcat I am glad to see that you are doing well and have been stable for some time. Thank you for sharing. My interest was tweaked when you said that you are on only 0.5 mg tacrolimus twice daily for immunosuppressants. I have a series of questions regarding your tacrolimus medication: 1) do you have regular blood levels run? 2) what is the range your physicians want you to maintain? 3) what is your level? and 4) does your level deviate or is it stable? I am in the USA and have a pancreas transplant and am currently going through changes in my tacrolimus dosages and levels. Thank you for whatever you are willing to share.

I don't think I can really help very much as everyone has a different level dependent on how immunosuppressed your doctors wish you to be at that particular time. I actually don't know my level at the moment although I recall once being told that it was too high when i had been taking a lot of pomegranate juice.
I have bloods taken every three months although it was much more often in the early days when my tacrolimus was changed on a regular basis. Sorry I can't be of more help but, on this question, everyone is unique.
