Update - GVHD
Hello
I was just diagnosed with mild chronic GVHD and start prednisone tomorrow. GVHD has been suspected since soon after the transplant but nothing was clear-cut.
My blood work (esophils tripled) resolved the question once we started tapering the tacrolimus. Now we are increasing it again.
I have to use a glucometer four times a day and I have insulin if needed. We'll keep monitoring to ensure I don't develop diabetes. I am also starting anti-osteoporosis treatment to protect me bones. These are rare potential side effects. If it's rare, I tend to get it so let's hope this time is different!
Let's hope I start feeling better soon.
