hello Vicki ,
thank you for sharing your experience with Bela, I had the same issue with hair loss 60% gone, gi issues, face swelling edema, and as well as creatinine goes up when dose is increased. I just started my Bela today and im excited to see how will I do with the infusion. I am 6 months post transplant.

Hi, @yys. I want to welcome you to Connect and to congratulate you for your 6 month milestone transplant recovery! Recovery and adjusting to new meds and developing a new normal are challenging. But we do learn together and we get over the hurdles with the support and shared experiences of other patients. I’m glad you are going to be starting your new medication today and I hope for positive results. Did your doctor give any indication for when to expect improvement? Will you be having additional labs drawn?
And what organ did you receive?
