Hi All,
Thank you indeed for accepting me as a member in this forum. I am so delighted.
I am a 66 year old male and received a kidney transplant way back in early 2006 and it has been functioning extremely well without any complications all these years. However, I have now developed severe, debilitating peripheral neuropathy after undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) three years ago.
I have also been prescribed various opiates and pain killers such as Oxycontin, Oxycodon, Reltebon, Neurontin and Lyrica none of which has given me any relief other than severe side effects! I have also been informed that this condition is normally non reversible! However, recently I have read numerous articles where it is claimed that "Lion's Mane Mushroom extract" could improve or even potentially cure peripheral neuropathy!
However, I am not so sure how safe this is since I am on the following kidney medicines;
Advograf .......... 1 x 5mg
Cellcept..........2 x 250mg
Predinislone.....1 x 5mg
I'd therefore be extremely grateful if anyone could give me any advice on the safety of taking this mushroom extract while on these kidney medicines especially on Advograf.
Thank you
