Post transplant medication side effects

Welcome to e-health.
Congratulations on the 4 years.
Are you a diabetic? I am not sure about the sweating. I have that problem too, but mine is menopause. Let me know if you find anything though.

You can check with your pharmacist as to the side effects of the medications.

Thank you for responding. Thankfully I am not a diabetic, and many kudos to those of you that have that to go through also. I had an infection once that put my body into an insulin dependent state for 3 months or so and following that diet along with the kidney diet was no fun.

I'm 33, so possibly a little early for menopause, but as we know sometimes the body just does what it wants to.

My kidney failure was due to renal reflux. When diagnosed at age 8 the surgery to fix this was still new and the pediatric team couldn't come to a unanimous decision on whether or not to try it.

I've spoken with my doctor and she is aware of another patient that has this same over heating issue. I have been doing research and am fairly positive this is a side effect from the prograf. But I am also unwilling to have my transplant team "play" with the medications much or switch me off it. I had been on celcept briefly post transplant, but due to extreme adhesions on my intestinal tract and a surgery to fix a fused spot the drug caused too many gut side effects for me to live comfortably with.

While annoying and slightly embarrassing the wet underarms is a minor problem to deal with compared with life pre-transplant, as I'm sure many will agree with. Just wondering if someone has figured out a way to combat and conquer.

I not only sweat worse with my transplant drugs, I sweat PROFUSELY! And I spend a lot of time "on the toilet" in the morning - every morning...I have ended up in the hospital due to dehydrahtion every summer since (2009). SO I wonder too. I want to go back to work, but am fearful of the issues like these...
