I had a liver transplant 5 months ago, so the beginning I was on Tacrolimus which I had a really bad reaction on my Kidneys(Creatinine, bicarbonate etc..) after a month my doctor switch it to everolimus , I had “ mild side effect” and I didn’t want to change again for 2 reasons:
-1) it’s better for who had cancer and 2) I was scare to run out of options.
I guess all give you some side effects and we have to see which ones you can live with

@desouza, Congratulations an your 5 month old liver transplant. I don't know if our paths have crossed, but I want to be sure to extend a welcome to Mayo Connect.
I have a liver and a kidney transplant and have not experienced purpura, and wonder of it might be related to medications as your seems to suspect with the medication change. Did you have this before transplant?
