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.
Steve Johnson commented on John Kilgore's group NOTE Support Group-Tampa General Hospital"Thank you John Kilgore. Hope everything has improved and life is good. I am going to visit the meeting, thanks.

I take 2/1 prograf off predisone generic form of cellcept but half dosage, been doing amazing. Where in pinellas do u live, how old are you, if u don't mind me asking. I live in Siminole. Right now I'm in Cincinnati visiting my grandson who was born during this ordeal and haven't yet seen except through Skype. This is the first time they've allowed me to travel since I got sick year ago Jan. So are you doing well?

- It is on 8A I think it is room 856 it is a conference room midway down the floor on the A wing side of 8. Lifelink provides the lunch. It is a really good group I think you will enjoy it. Have a happy Easter!
