Hi Cindy, I see you're taking prograf. What's your dose? I had problems with hair falling out for the first 5-6 months and then it stopped. My toes get a little numb when I'm lying down and the trembling hands seem to be going away. At this point, I…

Concerning the taking of medications... from what I understand we should try to take them the same all the time...the same time everyday to keep the levels running the same...with or without food every time so absorbtion is the same. Even the grapef…

About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
It's a great experience which gave a lot of weighty in the crisis before transplantation but the new richer view on the other hand. The transplantation has brought so much delight in my life.
I was diagnosed with autoimune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis 11 years ago at age 19. I don't have any problems until september 2008 when I got jaundice and ascites. My physical condition was going down very quickly, my whole system was going to fall, I lost a lot of weight, I was hardly living, most time at the hospital. Waiting for the new liver was traumatical, I was like a plant and only hope to get the organ in time. I was transplanted less than two months after entering on the transplantation list. I was totaly exhausted but full of energy to begin to live once again.

Thanks to all. It's nice to rejoice years which carry welcome experiences, mental and phisical stability. And it's special feeling because of oncoming first anniversary of transplantation. Keep healthy.

Vanja hello!

Hey yes I am doing great with the new Kidney/Pancreas:) This is my 3rd tx (kid/panc in 1990 & a kidney in'92). Thermal Springs? Is that like a Hot Springs? Soothing mineral baths? Now where is Logatec, Slovenia? My wife has a son in Zuric, Switzerland. We're in Grove Oklahoma (north east) which is in the middle of the USA~~~but we were both born & raised in Northern California but moved out to Oklahoma 3 years ago. Nice to hear from you~~~stay in touch and share some about you....Tracy
