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’m on it and I’ve definitely experienced some strange neurological symptoms. I called my doctor and he said just to report them.

I doubt if it is really life-threatening, I think we should just focus on the benefits instead of the negatives.

I've been on it for a few months now, and while I've had some mild side effects, nothing too serious. I just make sure to stay in close contact with my doctor and report any changes immediately.

Myfortic saved my life after my kidney transplant, but the side effects were brutal. I had to deal with constant nausea and fatigue. My doctor said it's common, but it's still tough.

The common side effects are a pain, but manageable. But those rare ones, man, those are scary. I just keep my fingers crossed.

I'm really worried about these rare conditions like PML. Anyone heard of anyone who had that?

I think the benefits outweigh the risks. I mean, without it, my body would reject the kidney transplant. I'd rather deal with some side effects than lose the kidney.

I've been on it for years without any major issues. Just make sure you get regular check-ups and monitor your health closely.

The skin infections are the worst. I ended up with some nasty infections but managed to get rid of them.

My mom was on it and she had some really bad side effects. She ended up having to switch to something else.
