Thank you so much @roxylulu22 😊 Your note makes me feel much better. It's very comforting to me when I hear that someone experienced the same thing and there was a fairly easy solution. I really appreciate that you shared this positive experience with me.
You are correct...so much to learn!!

@hello12345 congrats on the transplant. What is your schedule for post transplant lab work and follow up with your transplant providers? Were you put on any medication post transplant to treat anemia? If so sometimes that backfires (too much, too often etc.) Have you asked your transplant coordinator about this?

I checked with my husband last night and the medication is a very low dose of Lisinopril. It is a blood pressure med but the side effect is that it lowers hemoglobin levels. He has been on that for about 9 months with no reoccurring issues.
