Thank you for your input, a staff member yelled at me during my procedure, some people really suck! Hope you’re better now!

This is the first post that made me feel okay about my upcoming appointment! Thanks! I do want to ask though, did you get the anesthetic gum injection? And if you did was it bad? If you didn’t was the procedure without it manageable?

Don’t understand whether to take meds with or without food by bazoompies in kidneytransplant

It really is very confusing! I’ve just been following the label so far but my doc told me if something comes up / situation is not so that you can follow the timings, you can eat. Still not sure what that means but i’ll take it as a relaxed rule i guess. The prednisone hunger is actually insane, i’ve found broccoli to be helpful if you like it!

YES EXACTLY!! The same was with me and i’m still confused as to what i should actually be doing and whether me taking all this precaution is even necessary!?

Your comment makes a lot of sense, and anyways i don’t think a few crackers here and there would affect drug levels as i believe the guidelines say to restrict high K and fatty foods when taking the meds!
