I hope I still have no rejection after nearly 10 years. Honestly, all things considered, I feel very good too, strong...I feel strong. Glad to meet you. I hope UCLA has given you a break from all those biopsies after a time. :-)

"Hi viki,
Having the same problem with Prograf!! Loosing my mind with the amount of hair going down the drain!
Am in the uk & my consultant has mentioned cyclo but said it would have to be MY choice.
I would love to spk with you bout your…"
"Hi Kelly,
I'm new to this group too & have read your story...rough! Sure hope you are still doing well and your spirits are up!
As you probably know there are ups and downs emotionally post transplant.

"A young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life
by throwing herself into the ocean.
But just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young
man stopped her.
"You have so much to live for," said…"
"My wife found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine.The vet then proceeded to tell…"
"Dottie,
If your doc write BS/BS and specifies that you need prograf, not a generic med, they will back down. It's up to a doc to decide. All generic meds aren't the same as the name brand. At MGH they prefer prograf, although they said…"
"Hi Dottie, congratulations on your transplant. I have 10 years on my new liver this month. You have a new organ for only a few years. I would suggest you keep a spreadsheet of your labs as far back as you can so you can notice any…"

So I had my first liver tx in 2005 (living donor) and had bile duct issues. I had a 2nd tx March 16th and have bile duct problems yet again and now I'm faced with needing a 3rd tx. Has anyone out there had 3 transplants? I've been stuck in hospital since March and the doctors want to send me home...even though I still require IV antibiotics and a VACC system. My family and I are quite nervous.
"Dear Allie,
I wanted to help as well, but I am no longer under 18. I do hope though that your project goes well and proves to be informative for you and those to whom you show it. If you do not mind me asking, are you graduating as an undergrad or…"
"Welcome Dottie! I had thought I would have been on more immunosuppressant than I am as I received six organs in my transplant, but I only take 2mg Prograf twice daily without a steroid. I was on the steroid Medrol in the very beginning but the…"
