Indeed. FSGS specifically.

I thought I spotted it in your handle. You have my empathy. The Minimal Change Disease variant of NS that I know all too well gets treated with 60mg Prednisone when it goes active, but Tacrolimus rang a bell. I guarantee you that high doses of prednisone can make you absolutely crazy so you’re not missing out on any fun. Not sure about FSGS but MCD is like an invisible disease, meaning that almost no one knows that you are really, really ill, so you don’t even get any sympathy out of the ingrates. Shoot, I even had to tell my primary care physician to check my kidney function last time, they don’t see NS often enough to spot it.
