@missdi, I am glad that you will be looking at the discussion links that I shared. You might be surprised with how many recipients have side effects of varying degrees along with how they have learned to 'live' with them. I hope that you found some helpful information from the doctor visit.
-Just a thought - When at 5 years post transplant, I was taken off prednisone, and I dicovered that I had asthma (exercise induced). Good thing is that I now know why I have always had a difficult time hiking uphill. I now have a pulmonologist who has prescribed treatment. -
Did you have any underlying digestive issues prior to kidney failure or transplant? Could the medications be causing an upsurge in it?
How is your kidney doing with the complications that you are experiencing?

@rosemarya I had a good conversation with my Dr yesterday. After all the issues she agreed it was too much and has lowered my cyclosporine by half for 2 weeks. If all or most of the complaints don’t go away, she is probably going to put me back on one of the others I ve been on. Also took me off BP meds. She said to use Listerine for the inflamed gums.
As for prior health history, I’ve had ton of surgery’s. I too have asthma, which is odor induced brought on 15 years ago. Haven’t had to use my inhaler for a long time now. I also had stage 3 Breast Cancer, Parathyroidectomy, Liposarcoma which was attached to my gall bladder so they removed that. Very happy to be off dialysis after the transplant.
