Hi...kidney at Mayo, Rochester. "Little" gift from my husband on our anniversary. I take Prednisone, Sirolimus and (after 18 years on Cellcept) now on Myfortic. Sure there's been bumps along the way and some side effects from long term use of immunosuppressants, but on the whole, yay!

@charlie5454s 😊
Wow, that's some anniversary present....true love! Congrats again on your 18 plus years and I look forward to your future posts. Question: Was your recent medication switch from Cellcept to Myfortic because of stomach issues are something else?

Charlie5454s, thanks for your info. Are you taking Sirolimus as a form of Tacrolimus? I am having such difficulty with Envarsus XR (another form of Tacrolimus). The levels are either too high or too low. Now they tested too low so I get my dose increased which causes havoc with my anxiety and shaking. Were you put on Sirolimus due to troubles with Envarsus or Tacrolimus? My TC doc told me any med other than Envarsus XR or Tacrolimus is high risk for kidney rejection. Got me too scared to try anything else. Thx, BB
