I just wanted to let everyone know if you take anti-rejection medications, and you miss a dose, your 80% more likely to have a rejection episode. That is *everytime* you miss a dose.

Just thought that was good info to pass along, so everyone knows how important it is not to ever forget taking it.  :thumbup;

We were told that by the transplant surgeon.  They had a man who's kidney was doing great, no problems.  However, he was forgetting a dose about once a week or not taking it at the right time.  That "perfect" kidney was lost at 5 years.  It was due to his forgetfullness!  :banghead;
