Hello everyone,
I had my checkup the day before, the doctor didn't even mention how good the blood counts are:
WBC 6.6
RBC 3.91
Plts 127
Maybe he was more focussed on the post-transplant stage, managing GVHD symptoms and alleviating other "sufferings". He seemed more human this time. Must be the Christmas spirit.
My liver counts have gradually lightened up, so prednisone was decreased from 20mg to 15mg. Tapering very gradually.
I took insulin have constipation, so I was given magnesium and bruzenid(SP?) it's not working yet. I'm so bloated, I feel like fugu.
Any advice to beat this constipation???!!
I was also given eyedrops, 3 types: dry-eyes, anti-biotics and steroids. Lotions for the skin.
The transplant team said I was doing quite well for a 6 month post-transplantee.
My next check-up is Jan 4th !
Merry Christmas everyone. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Meri
