Hi everyone,


Unfortunately, it happened (again) yesterday. I forgot to take my immunosuppressants on time last night. I fell asleep and forgot to set my alarm. As a result, I took them 5 or 6 hours late—I think 5.

This happened to me about a week and a half ago, and then it was even 6.5 hours late.

I spoke to my doctor back then, and he said that there would "never" be a rejection reaction. My other doctor even said that even if I missed a dose entirely, there wouldn't be a rejection reaction.

I had blood tests done 1.5 days after this missed dose, and they were fine.

Nevertheless, I'm feeling uncertain and a little panicky now. I want to have another blood test on Monday, but I'm nervous until then.

My hands also feel swollen, but they aren't. It's probably just my imagination.

If it's relevant, I've been a transplant recipient for about 8 years.

What are your experiences with starting immunosuppressants late? In your experience or knowledge, when does it become critical?

Thanks for your feedback!
