I don't know you, Tyson. Could you have some stress component in all this? Possibly. But what I do know is that you are having new symptoms after beginning Tacrolimus and, considering the other drugs you are on, could be having a very serious metabolic problem. Changes in just electrolytes can wreak havoc on the body. Hypomagnesemia (magnesium too low) can cause sudden death, for example.

So many of us have had doctors go straight for the "it's in your head" card when we say we don't feel good. The problem with that is that it's usually a physical problem, not emotional. Sure, there are always emotional components to any disease - or just life - but they don't often kill people. Ignoring a potentially life-threatening situation can.

Let us know how you're doing, okay?
