Good day. Thank you for updating us. One year nearly. It is amazing how time passes and the transplant portion takes a back seat to todays this and that. I feel sometimes i need to change my habits to see why something is happening. I have gotten up most days at 5am since my transplant. Living in So Cal, early gets me outside and moving.
I just went in my portal and saw i had education topics to read before my treatments. I never read them.
I note on one it says to track energy levels. When might i do most activities. Always keep your transplant team informed.

Because of my osteopenia diagnosis i am on Vitamin D, Pharmacy strength. Drisdol i think and i take it once a week.
Drisdol is a prescription form of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) used to treat vitamin D deficiency-related conditions such as hypoparathyroidism, rickets, and hypophosphatemia.
Uses
Drisdol is primarily prescribed to treat hypoparathyroidism, a condition where the parathyroid glands do not function properly, leading to low calcium levels in the blood. It is also used for rickets, a disease characterized by softening of the bones due to vitamin D deficiency, and familial hypophosphatemia, which involves low phosphate levels in the blood. Additionally, Drisdol may be used for other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.
I was not aware Vitamin D had other uses. Maybe Lori or another monitor knows. I will search on mayo today.

IMPORTANT

TODAY is my 2-year Birthday!! My transplant of cells was on April 9th, 2024. I am not sure if i had gone to another hospital if it would be the same results. My research study for GVHD is likely why i have had few bad side effects. Side effects i have now originated with my breast surgery. Neuropathy, dry skin, brittle nails and blood clots. Estrogen loss and chemo plus a body that makes blood clots.

I am grateful to be doing as well as i am.
