Latest labs and general info

Got a call from the nurse about two days ago saying my Prograf level was high, but my creatinine only increased from 1.1 to 1.2, which is where it has normally been since transplant so no one considers it an increase due to the Prograf.  So we reduced my Prograf from 2/2 to 2/1.  Everything else looks really good.  I mentioned to him about my quick and sudden anger and he doesn't seem to think it's related to meds, but more than likely stress.  He's going to give me the name of a Counselor I can go see to hopefully get some tips on anger management.  After explaining to him what causes my anger he seems to think it's more "focal".  And he's so right.  It's mainly out of frustration from things at home (my piggy husband who loves to make messes and leave them for me) and such.   I'm glad no other meds were added.  Oh, and he has finally decided to take me off the Crestor due to the extreme pain I get in my joints.  He's putting me back on Lipitor, which I was on, with great results BTW, before transplant.   duh.

That's good news Kelly, but a bit of advice. If the counselor looks like Jack Nicholson, run!
