Hello everyone; I haven't checked in a while. I find this question interesting because I have had "night sweats" before and after transplant. I have had tremors, more prominent after transplant than before. I don't know what you mean by lower GI symptoms, if diarrhea, no symptoms. I tend to be more worried about the tremors than anything else. My mother had Parkinson's disease induced by a medication and that is worrisome for me. I can live with most of my symptoms without much worry as I feel it is a small price to pay. I do not have thyroid problems. I hope you can find the answer soon. Until next time. CK.

@chattykathy, It's been a while since we've heard from you. I hope you are doing okay.
Hugs,

@chattykathy "Lower digestive problems" was my attempt to describe diarrhea in a more discreet manner. Yes, I definitely meant diarrhea, for a couple of days I didn't dare to leave the house. Since they adjusted my medications it is not quite as bad but it is still a problem to a lesser degree. I am not supposed to eat salads, which were the mainstay of my diet, nor things with a lot of roughage.
The trembling hands could well be as I mentioned in my prior post, "essential tremor". It is not a big deal, just a nuisance.
For the sweats, they have told me to have my thyroid checked and when they saw the results, which were low which means my thyroid is not very deficient, they suggested that may be causing the night sweats. I coincidentally saw my PCP this past week and told him so he cut my thyroid medicine in half. We will see if that helps.
