Charles Ross –
My kidney gave up on 5 years ago so I had a transplant and I have been on this medication ever since. I gradually reduced dosage but I cannot be totally rid of it anymore. When we tried going lower in dose, my body flared up and got myself in trouble. It’s also the same when I miss taking them. It’s my life support therefore I can’t really ran out of these pills.
