I was recently prescribed Nulojix to help prevent my body from rejecting my transplanted kidney. I've read about some pretty scary side effects, including allergic reactions and urinary tract infections. Has anyone else dealt with this and can share their experiences? Were the side effects manageable, or did they become too severe to handle? I'm looking for some reassurance and any tips on how to manage this medication effectively.

I recently started taking Valcyte 450mg tablets to prevent CMV infection after my organ transplant. The doctor explained that it's crucial for people with weakened immune systems like me. I've heard a lot about the potential side effects, and I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced them. How have you managed the side effects, and are there any tips or tricks to make this medication more bearable? I've been really worried about the severe side effects, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
