Hello and thank you. Fortunately not on prednisone...allergic. But, I’ve read that Tacrolimus and other calcineurin inhibitors are linked to osteoporosis, but how seems to be a question. I offer the attached article for the group, as I found it one of the best on post transplant complications.

What an excellent article @athenalee I am realizing more and more that there are many problems associated with immunosuppressants. That article is somewhat disconcerting but I would rather know what I am dealing with than be ignorant of it, particularly when I have a number of these side-effects -- hypertension, osteoporosis, hyperlipidemia -- but until recently I had no idea that my immunosuppressants caused them. I developed diabetes prior to knowing that I had liver problems (NASH) and interestingly, now it seems to be in remission. My numbers are always very good.

Thank you for sharing that article.

@athenalee, @tgm512500, @sue6175, @jackie421blfdgurl, @contentandwell, and anyone who is interested

I have located a discussion where the topic of immunosuppressant medications can reach All of our transplant members (not limited to, liver patients at this current discussion title suggests).
It begins:
Weight gain? Hair loss? Headaches? Never missed a beat? What has your experience with transplant medications been? Have you developed a methods to deal with a side-effect? Have your meds changed at all over time? What advice do you have for others in our community that may make their experience better?

Transplant anti-rejection medications. What's your advice?
