Forgive the intrusion: not a transplant patient but taking Cellcept 1000mg 2x day +prednisone bursts as needed for lupus flares. Dealing with hair loss and nocturnal incontinence and some stress incontinence during the day (although I am admittedly 56 and have given birth to 9 kids). Just wanted to let you ladies know that your discussions were very helpful to me without you even knowing!
This is why I love this group, you all validate things I thought were my own quirks! We can gripe to our doctors and nurses but they just read about side effects where we all live side effects. I don't get up so much at night as I did when I was first transplanted but I notice how frequently I need to "go" after taking my evening meds. My husband and I typically watch TV in the evenings and I have him pause our shows every 40 mins to use the bathroom after taking my meds. I always thought it was just me but I guess not. I also find myself much more thirsty after taking meds and I wouldn't ever want to restrict my liquids.
