The immunosupression can cause plenty of
problems not limited to gettign contagious
disease easier, cancer, and digestive
trouble. Advice: wash your hands
religiously. Try not to touch your eyes
very often. Avoid people at work etc that
have a cold or something else. I have
noticed hand tremors and sleeplessness as
the main problems I have run into with my
txp meds. That and god-forsaken
prednisone causing bone loss. I have been
diagnosed with osteopenia and have to slam
the calcium constantly and exersize a ton
to increase my bones density. Take care
of your kidney and it will take care of
you.
