Hello,
Yes mine has danced around for nearly 2 years. I take with food in the morning but not at night. We don't eat breakfast till 9. It has started to settle down but I still take 4 in the morning and 3 at night. I am a multi organ patient, liver and kidney.

Hi @firecat 😊
It's nice to meet you! I am a kidney transplant patient. Which organs did you receive?
My Tacrolimis target range is 6 to 8. But occasionally I will see results like 5.5 or 5.2 which is out of range. I think they want me around 6 since I am also fighting off the BK virus. It makes me nervous to go under the 6, but it also makes me nervous to be over 7 since I want the BK to go negative. It's a very fine line trying to manage. I assume if I continue to hit the 5 range, my Tac dosage will be adjusted up 1mg.
