My medication list

Some of you have asked what medications I'm on, so I thought I would list my current medication regimen. This is mostly for you post-transplanters out there. The rest of you will probably find this boring. :)

For those of you with CF, who haven't had a transplant, you will be happy to know that most post-transplant CFers can stop all nebulizers shortly after transplant (It was 3 months post-lung-transplant for me). Pills are so much easier. I have only had to go on a neb once since 3 months post-transplant, and that was for an acute bout of pneumonia caused by pseudomonas. I do however have to go on IV's periodically for the pseudo in my sinuses.

I have listed my medication, the dose, what it's used for, and the CURRENT side effects I am having on it. The side effects change periodically, as do my meds...
