Without medical training, I don't know any authoritative answer, but it seems to me that your red blood cells are working hard at what they always do -- powering your cells, body, and brain -- but they are also hard at work on your overall recovery. If you think of what you went through during a transplant then it's not surprising to me that much hemoglobin-powered energy would be going into rebuilding your health, stamina, and strength, leaving less energy than a normal person for general activities.
