Yes. Remissions are possible and the ultimate goal. I personally had a 4 month remission in late 2020 with high doses of prednisone. I am currently back on 50 mg of prednisone daily for severe proteinuria and I am trying to research the other immunosuppressants my nephrologist has offered…. Tacrolimus being one of them. I’m afraid side effects are a given. Pros and cons to all drugs. I am familiar with prednisone side effects and fear adding tacrolimus or mycophenolate, my current options.
What side effects do you see/feel?

I am exploring stem cell (regenerative med) if my condition doesn’t improve. Have you researched this opinion?
