Weakness and increases in serum creatinine are both reported side effects of Sirolimus.
See: http://www.drugs.com/sfx/sirolimus-side-effects.html
It is hard to predict what may happen in the future with regard to these side effects. Some patients find that the effects are less noticeable with time as the body adjusts to the medication . A reduction in dosage may also help with the side effects.
Discuss your options with your doctor.
All the best.
