@codered032, I'm popping in here because i see that you are taking Tacrolimus and you don't like the side effects if this medication. I also take Tacrolimus as part of my post transplant (liver and kidney) transplant.
How long have you been taking Tacrolimus? What side effects are you experiencing?

Hi Rosemary,
I would be interested in your dose of tacrolimus and side effects input. My nephrologist does not have another MCD patient. He recommended Mycophenolate since that his what many of his transplant patients take.
What are your thoughts on a 3rd COVID-19 immunization?

Hi Rosemary I was started on Tacrolimus 5 months ago, 6mg 2X day at $600/mo. My last level was 5.8 and Tacrolimus was reduced to 3mg 2X day. I have never had to take any medications prior to my dx. I did take Celebrex PRN for arthritis briefly. My current side effects, depression, upset stomach, restlessness, insomnia. I can’t seem to find a lot of information about MCD. Do you know if it will go into remission?
