I went for monthly blood work and when results came back talked with my Nephrologist and Transplant Team about just out of range Creatinine and BUN numbers! They consulted and have reduced my Tacrolimius dosage by 1 mg Daily. My body likes my Gift Organs and will repeat Labs at end of month to check levels again!! Doing all I can to protect my Gifys and control side effects pf the medications💙💚🎁💪🎯

    Think I got ahead of myself, 2 months ago my tacolimus went down to 1.5 mg twice a day, along with my Vitamin D3 down to 2000 units daily. Bit concerned but felt fine, but on my last month labs my magnesium was increased 400 mg x2 3 times daily. I'm 3 years post transplant.

    @Vegasrails wow! I always find it strange when it’s been so long post transplant and my meds need to be adjusted. I know it’s normal but it’s a mind trick for me.

    i hope you’re able to go back to a stable place soon. Keep us posted!
