Recently, the conversation about hand tremors, insomnia and anxitey were brought up on the forum as a result of our medications. Just want to hear what other side effects you guys have experienced or illnesses as a result of the immunosuppresvie drugs?

    I faced pretty bad insomnia the first few weeks after transplant surgery and required sleeping pills for about two weeks to help me fall into a regular sleep routine. Hand tremors were pretty common for me when on Astagraf, but after my switch to Envarus, they ceased. Around year 2 or 3 of my current kidney transplant, I also experienced viral warts on the sides of my fingernails that were gross to look at and so very painful. I had to have them burned off! Thankfully, they never returned.
