Hi Holly Happy New Year to you to, now this is strange as when I started Hydroxy they told me that I had an infection which they thought was in my blood although my readings went back to normal this kept on showing up, and for no rhyme or reason it disappeared and has not shown up since so maybe it is your body getting used to the drug so let's hope it rectifies itself.

How are you feeling in yourself now ?

Hi Holly, , aye I'm afraid one thing oft begats another in this game, , reminds me of spider and fly song I'm taking a number of post transplant meds and a few are to counter the side effects of the many, but it increases your intake. . then there's the constipation issue which my Co-codamol caused which meant taking a mild laxitive. Also probe caused by steroid mainly fluid retention which means taking 2 types of water tabs. . . And the game goes on.

The good thing is you are being well looked after and I hope you feel much better soon.

Hi Holly

It's good that your platelets are down especially with your mitral regurge so that's a positive .

Hold on to the word slight and I hope it clears up and your next bloods are really good .
