This is for those of us who take Prograf as a main immune suppressive drug. We can discuss side effects, etc. Or, we can just keep a head count of how many in the community take Prograf.

Hang in there, it just keeps getting better and better. You will have ups and downs, just follow the doctors orders and don't get too careless the first year. By that I mean wear your mask, use your hand sanitizer, take your pills on time and stay active in your home even if its just walking or walking up and down stairs. It took me a year and a half before I felt close to normal. If you need to chat you can email me at kennethjude@comcast.net.

Keep your head up
