EP17: Medications that Helped My NCS

Welcome back to the NCS podcast! In this episode, I share the list of medications that helped me get to the finish line, which was my kidney autotransplant. Below is the list of medications for those that need help with spelling (like myself!) along with the dosages prescribed to me. While I offer the list below, I provide a lot more detail in this episode regarding these medications, and how they helped me specifically. With that, and as a gentle reminder, this is my journey that I am sharing. I am aware that what worked for me might not work for others; I do not want to invalidate others' experiences if these medications don't work for you. My hope in sharing my medication experience is to help you know what options are available to you. If there are other medications that I didn't mention in this episode that worked wonders for you, please drop them in the comments so we can have a running list of medications others can ask for in their respective doctor's appointments.
