Transplant anti-rejection medications. What's your advice?

It’s listed as “less common” in Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine, and “more common” for Sirolimus. Although, 56% of people on Tacrolimus get tremors. They all have their side effects. But, it certainly varies among transplant recipients. For me, the meds are just compounding my comorbidities.

So, if and when a transplant patient does get neuropathy, is it a permanent, progressive illness? Or does it abate or perhaps even go away once one may be weaned off the drug that caused it at some point? My mother never took any of the drugs you mentioned as she never received a transplant. Her neuropathy was caused by diabetes and she eventually ended up in a wheelchair due to no feeling in her feet. Is that the future with neuropathy as a side effect of an immunosuppressant drug that a transplant patient has to take for a lifetime?
