@jennifer0726 I forgot to mention that tacrolimus and prograf are both chemo drugs, such are the side effects of hair loss.

Thanks for the input! I am now 5.5 years post transplant, and I have experienced hair loss and improvement three times post surgery since my TX. Most recently I had my left hip replaced end of March at Mayo, and I was back to dropping hair again. I think it is the anesthesia and trauma from surgery that does it for me. Eventually, it comes back, maybe not like when I was much younger, but to my new normal. About a month ago they upped my Tac from 2 in the morning to taking 3 in the morning and still 2 in evening. Trough is 5-7, and I dipped below 5. It is a lifelong thing keeping it all stable.
