@rosemarya I do see a nephrologist, but going forward, provided things don't go backwards, I'll only see him once a year or so. My transplant recovery has gone really well. My only issue is a bit of anemia. Hopefully it goes away with the recent reduction in mycophenolate. 5 months out, I can't recall ever feeling better. But then again, I've never treated my body as well as I do now (diet, exercise, fluids and sleep). Thanks for asking.

Mickj, I also experienced anemia after my transplant. My doctors had me on an iron pill, I don't remember if it was prescription or over counter. I also don't remember how long I needed it, but for me it was temporary condition.
It is great to hear how good you feel (better than ever). That is a fantastic feeling - I do remember that! I am proud of you for how well you are taking care of yourself. I have also learned to listen to my body because it tells me if I need to slow down, or to rest, or to call the doctor.

Here is something you might find useful as we go into the flu and cold season.
