So, I've been prescribed Myfortic 180mg Delayed Release Tabs to prevent my body from rejecting my new kidney. It's supposed to help by weakening my immune system, but I'm wondering if the side effects are worth the risk. Has anyone else been on this medication? What's your experience with it? Also, are there any tips for managing the side effects that seem to be common with this medication. I'm particularly worried about the serious conditions it could lead to, like PML and BK Virus Infection. I'd love to hear from anyone who has dealt with this.

I started taking Rapamune 1mg tablets after my kidney transplant, and it's been a game-changer. My body hasn't rejected the new kidney, but I'm experiencing some side effects like dizziness and digestive issues. I'm curious if anyone else has had these symptoms. Also, I've heard it's used for a rare lung disease called LAM—has anyone here taken it for that reason? If so, what's your experience been like?
