Hi @benedict66066
It's very nice to meet you. May I ask you how many years you ago you had your transplant? And what side effects TAC is giving you?
I am 5 years post kidney transplant and started growing squamous cell skin cancer on my scalp, so I think a change of meds is in my future too.

@hello1234 it has only been 13 weeks since my transplant. I was suffering, extreme weakness and fatigue. Also extreme stomach bloating, and some pain associated with that. I also developed some cardiac issues.These are only my first days in taking cyclosporine, so we’ll see if there’s any improvement.
