- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- Although I went into renal failure as a baby, I have been extremely fortunate to have led a relatively normal and healthy life. I was only on dialysis when I was very little so I don't remember it. My kidneys plugged along until I was about 25, when I ended up needing a transplant. So far, things have gone better than my greatest expectations.I never thought I would have such a long healthy life.
I am so grateful for my health and have spent most of my life trying to give back to the community that has helped me so much. I am so honored to be a member of this group.

I'm on Cellcept (brand name from Roche) for SLE. Works great for joint pain, but I really can't afford the medicine. Aetna makes me pay a 1/3rd copay, and that is near $564/mo. for the therapeutic dosage (3000mg/day). No one can help, not even Roche…
