Did a relative donate to you or stranger? I recently received a kidney transplant through paired exchange from a stranger and I’m afraid it won’t last as long.

My doctor talked about going down to 2.5 mg or maybe eliminating all together. I understand some hospitals have eliminated it from their regimen but being younger I’m also at higher risk for rejection. That’s why I’m still taking it. I’ve heard it can make you gain weight too, haven’t experienced it myself yet. Sounds like you have it under control but it takes a lot of work. I’m glad for you.

How long were you on 20-30 mg? I think I’m supposed to be on 5 mg prednisone a day only for life. Hoping the side effects aren’t as bad at this level.

My doctor said something similar about people not taking meds. I would love to get 25 years, I’m 35 now. There are a lot of meds but I’m already used to it and side effects have been pretty minimal for me so far. Hoping for the best. Thanks for your reply!
