So on my 34th birthday I visited my Renal Clinic, my creatinine is at 107.
Not back there for 3 months now, got a big bag of drugs so all sweet for a while...lol

Glad to hear that you are doing well.  My turn will be on September 9.  A really close friend of mine is donating.  Are there any serious side effects of the medication that you are taking?  Can you give me any pointers on the proceedure?

Most of the drugs tx patients take have an assortment of possible side effects. Serious is in the eye of the beholder. Also, every body is different so you just never know. With the assortment of things you will be taking after transplant tracking down which drug or supplement is responsible for a given side effect can be a process .  There are a lot of threads on this site discussing different side effects. The bottom line is that for the great majority of transplant patients the side effects are a minor blip compared to the miracle of a healthy kidney.

Godspeed

Well thought I'd jump on here as it's been quite a while.

Today is the 4th anniversary of my transplant and it has performed faultlessly.
My last creatinine reading was around 114(aus reading).
Dad is doing well and I am too. So hoping to get lots more D free years.
