- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about you and your unique experience with transplantation:
- I was very fortunate to receive both a pancreas/kidney transplant 18 months ago. Alll went beautifully and I was released to my home 8 days later with all labs perfect. Returned to work p/t at our local City Hall and all was going well.
One month ago, out of the blue my Amylase and Liapase began to rise, as a biopsy should slight signs of pancreas rejection, so now I am back on the heavy doses of meds (like starting all over again).,Been a little "bump" in the road after all was going so well.
Things are improving, but very slowly and have taken some frequent hospital vists with IV meds to get the levels lowered.
I would like to hear from other transplant patients who have dealt with this kind of problem and their
feed back.

BRUISING/SKIN?
Haven't seen any discussion on skin issues. I have many, many brown spots
(all sizes) on hands, arms and legs, Of course my skin does tear, bleed and bruise
very easily which I know is from the predinsone for one -- very thin skin. Sometimes I barley hit anything and I hleed and bleed. I have many big spots when I don't even hit or scrap them. Does anyone else experience
this? My arms look really bad as do my legs. Transplant coordinator says this is
normal from the pred. Just wondering about any answers and helps.
Thanks -- would appreciate any replies.

I was reading about your skin problems. I have those problems too, I have seen specialists and they call it age...I am only 54, my mother in law who is 92 doesn't even have as many problems with her arms and legs as I do. I have to been told it is normal. My husband and I went to Radium Hot Springs this summer and believe it or not some of spots disappeared. I told the Dr's but they never said anything about it. I thought maybe it had something to do with the sulfur. All we know is we are going back to the Hot Springs. You must have Hot Springs in the USA? Take care and good luck. Glenna
