Re: Tacro levels post tx
Yes Rick can be tricky to remember the evening dose. Thankfully I've got a Casio G shock watch so the alarm goes off to remind me.

Re: Tacro levels post tx
The consultant thought that now I'm a year post tx that levels of 8 and 9 were slightly high for me so decided to reduce the tacro to 2mg daily. I'm sure 5.7 is in the normal range and he'd have phoned if it was a problem, was just interested to see what levels others were running at. Just had my la...

Re: Tacro levels post tx
Sounds like they are sorting it at least Sally
Hopefully the increase in meds will get the levels back to normal

Tacro levels post tx
What are people's levels running at? I'm two days short of my tx anniversary and have been running at 8/9 taking 2.5mg twice a day. Just had them reduced to 2mg twice a day a fortnight ago and blood test on Tuesday was 5.7 which is the lowest since I was just out of hospital. Lets know your levels.....

Re: Anxiety Issues Post Diagnosis.
Don't know why you'd feel idiotic posting that. I started feeling quite anxious a couple of years before transplant, not sure why as I'd never felt like that before and was fine for a few years post original diagnosis. Thought the op and generally feeling much better would help stop it but hasn't re...

Re: EPO
11 isn't very low for a gfr of 13, they only use EPO to keep it between 11 and 12 anyway. Think I was started when my haemoglobin dropped below 10.

Re: Anyone with IGA here? All new to this
I have IGA, had a transplant last October. If you have protein and blood in the urine then it is a sure sign you will end up needing dialysis/transplant. I would get him to ask about steroid and immunosuppressive treatment at the hospital as it often works very well in halting the decline of the kid...

Re: The Team Tibbs Results are in...
Good luck with the root canal. I had it done pre transplant with a fraction of the anaesthetic, didn't feel a thing. Certainly hurt my wallet though, think it was £800

Re: Great South Run training plan (for Tibbs)
26.2 miles on the bike for me this morning. Much better than running as it isn't so stressful on the old joints

Re: Neph visit 11th March 2013
Maybe mine were abit worse than yours, creatinine was just getting over 300 when I was put on them. I was leaking loads of protein but the Prednisolone and Azathioprine reduced the creatinine by nearly 100 to just over 200, wonder drugs! I was apprehensive about taking them as they do have side effe...

Re: Neph visit 11th March 2013
2mg of Candesartan is a waste of time, that won't be doing anything of note. Amlodipine is a good drug for blood pressure though although 5mg is again a very low dose. When I had your function I was on 8mg Candesartan, 10mg Amlodipine and 7.5mg of Bisoprolol. As well as steroid treatment and immuno ...

Re: 10 months post TX. BK Virus. Triathlon.
I'm 4 months post tx and doing plenty of cycling and running. 20 miles on the road bike and I'm knackered though! Triathlon sounds like a challenge and a half, good luck with it!

I had one ultrasound hours after the op when I was out of it presumably but that is the only one I have had.
