I never heard this until this year about being consistent in taking meds with or without food. I was on drugs when they told me before being released post transplant so I guess that part was a little fuzzy. Glad to know now so I can take the best possible care of myself. Anyone else wish we could retake those classes to see if we missed anything on the first go-round?

@jolinda They came in to go over everything in the book with me so I could ask questions and I kept falling asleep! It's a good thing it was all written down too. My husband was getting so upset with me but I just could not keep my eyes open.
There are definitely things that are not in enough detail in the book that would have been good to hear. Unfortunately, although my husband was awake but he didn't remember much either.
I really don't think they emphasized that if you take the medication without food you would not need to take as large a dose of it. It seems to me, from the last time I mentioned this on this forum, that others didn't realize this either. It makes sense though, why else would they say to take it either way but to be consistent?
