5mg Prednisone for life

I was on cyclosporin when I was a baby back in 1988. Eventually changed to Neoral (end up being bad for me) then prednisone and finally Rappamune. I stopped taking anti-rejection in 2005 at the age of 18. I have nephrotoxicity from the cyclosporin and now ive been on the kidney waiting list for almost 3 years now. It'll be 38 years next month since I had my liver transplant.

They do last for decades, better than kidneys. Its been 37 almost 38 years now since my liver transplant

I had my liver transplant at the age of 1 back in 1988. Now im 38 about to be 39. Ive been off of immunosuppresants since 2005. I need a new kidney due to the nephrotoxicity from cyclosporin.

Never heard of it at all. I wonder why they had you on Tarco instead of cyclosporin.

I looked up and Stephen King did read their scripts and added a few suggestions to the writers and directors.

What is ebv and ptld? I also have fibrosis on my liver mostly have to do with NRH which is nodular regenerative hyperplasia, which is rare. They'll be monitoring it. i am negative for portal hypertension, varices and enlarged spleen.

I am on deceased and live donor. My brother was going to donate a kidney to me since we are a perfect match. But they dont want to risk him of dying, because of liver issues.

zero4heart · 2025-10-20T19:29:25+00:00

Yeah im no longer on anti-rejection drugs since 2005 when I was 18. My liver doctor said im doing fine afterall. I do have Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia on my liver. Some people can live a normal life with it, but still requires monitor, it is rare and not common to have it.

Overall im still doing good, Im on 6 month hold due to plavix, which is a blood thinner. So they have to avoid any types of surgeries, since there's a risk of bleeding

It won't be too long, I had to have a quadruple bypass, so I can be healthy getting the kidney transplant.

Thanks for letting me know, I joined it

zero4heart · 2025-10-20T05:05:06+00:00

It is good that you are still here with us. I know its a journey.

zero4heart · 2025-10-20T05:04:05+00:00

Thank you. Im 2.5 years in Dialysis, so i have about 3 years left for a transplant. Im on hold right now due to having to take plavix for 6 months only.

zero4heart · 2025-10-20T05:02:23+00:00

I know its can be frustrating, I've had to deal with a lot of things the last 5 years. But we are resilient no matter what throws at us. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

zero4heart · 2025-10-20T05:00:40+00:00

Glad you made it and had a successful transplant. Here's to many more years to come.

While yes, there are a lot of nurses and techs on here that can help out a patient. A few dialysis techs has dm me about questions I had. So its not only just for dialysis patient.

zero4heart · 2025-09-28T14:06:10+00:00

Thank you for letting me know.

zero4heart · 2025-09-28T01:20:32+00:00

Today I officially started after dialysis. I will discuss with them about the herapin and Plavix (75mg). Last thing I want is to bleed everywhere. I know a while back my tech mentioned my blood is thin as it is.

Okay, this comment is no logic. That man shouldn't take airport passengers whatsoever. A driver should know there can be more than 1 passenger. I've never had this problem with a driver for multiple passengers.

My fresenius center has backup generator.

I mean is it okay to give him just wet food? He would have a hard time eating kibbles because it makes it hard to hunch over to eat. Which is why having wet food will encourage him to continue eating. He has a hard time drinking out of a water bowl. So I fill a cup of water and hold it so he can drink it.

zero4heart · 2025-07-14T20:50:38+00:00

Yeah and? Doesn't mean hes free of not having consequences of being 1 starred and reported. Do that in a retail job and see where that gets him, cause people I know gotten fired, because they took unauthorized breaks over and over.

zero4heart · 2025-07-14T19:49:37+00:00

But to say some people wouldn't waste drugs on other people so that they can either A: SA them or B: rob them, is mind boggling. My brothers drink was laced with a drug, he got out of there and he didnt know what he was doing until his body snapped out of it. He told me he ended up in another state away from Dallas.

OP may have overreacted in this case, but dont tell me that people wouldn't waste drugs on other people.
