    alternative to Gatorade?

    Interesting about the teeth (and gross). I've always used the lower sugar version of gatorade and added salt (doctor's recommendation). I'm not sure that vitamin water actually has less sugar anyway, does it -- unless of course you're buying the low-sugar vitamin water? Okay, this isn't so much...

    Prednisone

    Insomnia is my number one side effect with pred. Other people experience blood sugar spikes, irritability, jittery feelings, soreness, and hunger. Honestly, my side effects are pretty limited and I feel very lucky, but I do sometimes get almost uncontrollable food cravings. It's like I have to...

    First off, hi and welcome! I'm on the list for a transplant now and I agree that sometimes the "little things" are kind of overwhelming. I definitely had my moments of crying over things like prednisone cheeks and the idea of hair growth from the anti-rejection meds. One thing to remember is...
