Since finding out I had Kidney problems I have been on alot of tablets to control multiple things.  Now I have had my transplant I’m on even more tablets which mainly include steroids to stop the rejection of the kidney.  Lately a lot of people have been asking how many I am taking?  what size are they? you get the idea.  So I thought I would add a picture of what I am on per day.

My drugs for the day.

Here is what I take daily. I must be very strict on myself to take them and not forget, from stories I have heard about is if you miss your steriod tablets for a day all your levels get bad very quickly. As there is nothing to stop immune system from trying to kill the kidney, so your cells go straight to work on it.

I have 5 blood pressure tablets. Many people dont know that high blood pressure can effect the kidneys long term.
I have 2 antibiotic tablets to stop infections
Antirejection tablets which must be taken at 10am and 10pm without failure.
Steriods which are the red and purple tablets.
Tablet to lower cholesterol.

Of course they never come like this from the doctor you have to sort them all out once a week and this is the mess from empty packaging.

The waste.
