Greg, why did you switch from the pills?
Surprisingly, the transplant folks are not currently worried about the high ferritin. They said they see it all the time post transplant and it usually resolves itself. But they will keep a watch.
BMB #7 was slightly more painful than the others but not bad. It's all over so quickly, in just a couple of minutes. I just get local anaesthesia, a lot of Lidocaine in my butt! I also had 16 vials of blood drawn. Won't get most of my results for a week. They took me off the antibiotic in hopes it will help with the stomach issues. If I'm not feeling better in a couple of weeks, they want me to get another endoscopy.
