@goatgirl - I had the same thing happen to my kidneys while I was waiting for a liver transplant. They failed suddenly and the diagnosis was hepatorenal failure. I spent 5 days in ICU before I was stable enough to be accepted and flown to Mayo Rochester for possible cholangiocarcinoma diagnosis. I needed dialysis until I transplanted a liver and a kidney in April 2009.
Your blood draws will gradually be spaced farther apart. I have my labs every 3 months, and my immunosuppressant meds are at a lower level than they were earlier. Your doctors will be closely following your labs and your Tacrolimus level. The goal is to have a level that is high enough to protect your new liver from trejection, but not high enough to be toxic. It is a delicate balance. I also take cellcept, and it is measured with labs diring my annual evaluation. Immunosuppressant (antirejection) meds are to be taken for life.

I understand your anger, and your feeling guilty with anger, and your rejoicing. Believe me when I say that anything is possible as a reaction. It is possible that some of the feeling are magnified by medications. It is okay to mention this to your transplant team for their opinion.
Alcohol is a 'No' for liver transploant recipients. I have adjusted, although I do miss a cold beer with pizza! And I am the gal who has iced tea at a wine pairing dinner.

I'm happy that you have joined Connect. I hope that my brief message brings some comfort. What are some of the normal things that you used to do ?
