@silverwoman. I don’t know what I would do without my watch to remind me. Before I had this watch I used my phone but this works better for me. I’m on sirolimus so only take it once a day. My watch vibrates on my wrist to wake me. I get up, take my pills, and try to get another hour of sleep so I can eat when I get up. I like that it doesn’t wake my husband too.

They tell you to take these with or without food but to be consistent. At some point it dawned on me that maybe if I took them without food I could take a lower dose so I spoke to my transplant team and they had me get tested and I was able To go from 4mg a day to 2.5. I just figure the less medicine, the better.
