I have BK test every two to three weeks. It’s not going down much, as my white count is so low. I’m not taking any MMF at this time, but take more prednisone and a small amount of Tacrolimus.

Hi @roxanne12345 😊
So you have BK virus too? I was diagnosed in August with >100 million viral load in my urine and 500 in my blood. I was taking 500mg bid Cellcept and 6mg Envarsus XR when I was diagnosed and to fight the BK, my Cellcept was reduced to 250mg bid and my Tac is targeted between 6 and 8. It's almost 6 months and I still have BK, but the viral load is slowly coming down. When were you diagnosed and what's your current viral load? Also, are you taking 5mg or 10mg Prednisone with your Tac?
Sounds like we are both going through the same experience! It's nice to discuss this with someone that is going through the same experience! Thank you for sharing ❤
