Yes the first few weeks cam be a challenge. I had a heart transplant at Mayo and i know they take all symptoms seriously. I was on a pain killer for about a month to 6 weeks and then Tylenol after that. But i remember the hardest part was getting up and down. The pain intensified then. The other problem was food. The taste of food do to the drugs was lousy bet i find a few foods i could stomach and that too passed as the level of drugs comes down. When it comes to temp for me at least the magic number was 101.4 befor the drs got concerned. Btw im now 16 months post and everything is pretty normal so as a 19 year veteran of his transplant told me listen to the doctors and you will do well. Btw my Mayo in phonex has a support group mi is heart but ask maybe the have a liver one also. I always enjoy talking to other people when im there. But this forum is awesome also. If i can help with anything please ask
