Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@gaylea1 What does the doctor say about still being light headed? I had nothing like that after my transplant, just some fatigue for a while. I hope the light-headedness goes away soon, I would not want to live like that on a daily basis. Is it pretty much all of the time?

@contentandwell the doctors haven't said too much. I experience the ligjt headedness daily. Mainly I get it going up and downstairs. Somtimes if I am carrying things I get dizzy too. I'm thinking more exercise is needed.

I had my Liver, Kidney transplant 4 weeks ago and in the past week I've become very light-headed after walking 100' indoors. MAYO needs to do some checking, especially since I fell while using a walker. I'ts just like for a few seconds every bone in my body disappeared while I never got dizzy or shaky and was able to continue a conversation from my new floor view. I'm now stuck in a wheelchair anytime I go more than 100'. If anyone else has been though this, please advise. The MAYO in Phoenix also seems to have a bedsore problem as several people I've spoken with (all multiple organ transplants) seem to have this same problem. And after asking for a week - while in the Hospital Bed - it was largely ignored. While the Hospital is incredible some of the auxiliary patient support systems (scheduling) are not at the level as the rest of the Hospital.
