Bad morning

Hi there all.

Has anyone else post transplant wakened up after a night of sweating, nightmares and a blinding headache behind eyes?

Agnes,

Yes, I keep paracetamol and a drink next to my bed, it eases as he progresses from the transplant, hopefully. Mention it to the coordinators to cover the bases.

Hi Agnes , sorry to hear your hubby has had a bad night, I used to get really bad sweats with tramadol and had some weird vivid dreams, I also had really high blood pressure which was causing bad headaches, I would definitely mention it to the drs just in case, hope he feels better soon 🌸🌸

My hubby did have sweats but the coordinators don't mind a phonecall for advise

Deffo Agnes. For about 2 months at least. Similar comments to Snoutie but I had codeine next to me....

Hi agnes about 2 weeks ago I started having headaches and I'd had a blood test round that time. I got a call from addenbrookes to say that my tacrolimus levels were too high and they told me to reduce down from 5mg daily to 3 mg.They asked if I'd had headaches and hand shaking. My hands had a shake anyway post transplant but yes, it had been worse than normal I haven't had headache since reducing the levels and hands settled down to a lot less shaking than had been the norm. I only occasionally get night sweats. Everyone of us is different and tac levels may or may not have something to do with it. Alf

Hi Alf, I’m thinking it’s his adport immunosuppressant . They upped his dose to 4mg a day, that’s the highest doze he’s been in since he got home from transplant. He got a call this afternoon to go for a scan before his clinic next week. See how he sleeps tonight .

It is Adoport that I had to reduce Agnes. The headache was across my forehead. Hope he's sorted soon.
