Hi @hello1234

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well let's hope it's just a cold and not an infection. If you're not developing a fever that's good news. Hopefully you will get feel better after some rest? Is there a different hygenist in your dental office you can request?

Have you been able to get your BK numbers down? Are you back on normal doses of your immunosuppressant meds now?

Previously when hubby had dental done(fillings) his local neph prescribed cephalexin which he took 30-min to hour before the procedure. Fortunately it did not cause any adverse side effects.

Our transplant team emphasized that it's imperative to get dermatology checkups regularly because skin cancer is a common cause of taking the immunosuppressant drugs. My hubby sees one once every 6 months. My friend's husband(he's almost 80) is a kidney transplant patient of Mayo AZ and he is just 3 years + post transplant. He sees his dermatologist once every 3 months and at every visit there is always some discovery of some sort of skin abnormalities. He's been diagnosed with skin cancer issues about 1 year post transplant. The good thing is his dermatologist is able to remove the cancerous skin cells before they become critical issue! Sounds like you're doing everything right. Hope you get better soon.
