JoDee, We are all in this together, aren't we! I sure wish this site had been available to me after my transplant.

This is definitely something to bring up at the upcoming checkup. You will learn that the transplant team loves questions so that they know what might be needed to help patient stay healthy and active. I always have a list, and most are pretty easily addressed by the NP before I even see the doctor.

As a side note, my PCP does not answer questions related to my transplant matters. He likes to tell me that I will have to "talk to the transplant people about that'. He is very good at monitoring everything else, and he is the one who first suspected that I had a liver problem. He referred me to the GI so I could get the correct diagnosis and treatment. He also works me into his appointment schedule right away if I have fever, or questionable symptoms. My friends tease me that am 'special' and get a Free Pass into the doctor's office while they have to wait for an opening:-)

@jodeej that's interesting that his nails seem stronger. I would think the two go hand-in-hand. My nails have always been weak though, not just after my transplant.
It seems that biotin has been recommended to many of us so more than likely they will say yes. I do always ask though. Sometimes I think the NP gets annoyed that I ask things like that, but too bad. From what I have read in her background info she is quite bright but to me she is the weak link in my transplant care, and everything goes through her.
