Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. I saw my oncologist. He said since I have had these conditions in the past and recovered and that both my liver and kidney numbers are normal I should wait and watch. He also said I may be coming down with some sort of infection. I am on tacrolimus, prednisone, and imbruvica for immuno suppressants and 19 other medications. After a year of badgering he agreed to taper my prednisone. I will reduce it by 1 mg. every 2 weeks.
II have been slightly anemic since transplant. He has not been concerned about this as he sees this in most of his transplant patients. Feeling somewhat proactive I asked for a ferritin test. It has been normal for years but this time it came back as 8 ng/mL (18 - 464). This may be contributing to my dizziness, lack of strength and fatigue. I hope it is that simple.
