Prograf

The burning sensations ARE from the Prograf/tacromilius. That I was told explicitly when immediately post-transplant. It lessens over time, and with the adjustment to it, but it does still affect me from time to time. I am about 2.5 years out now from my transplant. I still get the burning hands, feet, and sometimes shakes. Especially the latter if I get stressed.

As for the night sweats. It must be related to something we take. I get the night sweats in bouts, and they are horrible. I had them pre transplant as well, but I wasn't on dialysis. It's odd, and no one really has an explanation for it.
When we offer a hand, others are lifted.
