Hi @hello1234! For Cellcept I take 750 mg in am and 500 mg in pm. My hair has been holding steady, still thinner than before on top, but better than the first 6-12 month post tx. So odd you mentioned Gerd, I have had much more issues with this in last month or two. I have been taking Lansoprozole after my Protonix ran out post tx. I have learned recently for me it is more effective to take in the evening as mornings were not helping. I also tried these new “melt” version from Walgreens that do not agree with me. (headaches, joint pain, etc) My new kidney was back down to 30 GFR last labs, but as long as it doesn’t decline I am ok. That new kidney is supplying hormones for increased hair oil like a teen, and faster growing and healthier nails. So funny the things that change. Thankful always for my new kidney, but being post tx isn’t without challenges.

@jennifer0726 ...You are soooo right about the oily teenage hair and healthier nails. I thought it was just me Jennifer!! I am so glad that you mentioned it. 😊
You mentioned your 30 GFR blood test. What is your creatinine running? And what is transplant saying about the cause of your 30 GFR...are they comfortable that things appear stable now that your norovirus and c diff resolved? They may be confident now that your infection is resolved. (I know you had a very hard time after that pizza delivery).
