I honestly never thought about it—I assumed it was the temperature in my mom’s house—but yes, I definitely have hot flashes. Post transplant, I used to wake up multiple times every night while I was still undergoing dialysis and my kidneys were deciding whether or not they wanted to awaken and participate with my new liver (READ: to pee), so I can’t remember if the hot flashes were also a factor. As of today, though (one year on 5/10/2020!), the hot flashes are the obvious variable.

(So thank you for asking this question bc I never knew to ask it and now I know what I didn’t know I needed to know! 🙃)

They don’t wake me up every night but when they do, it’s only once or twice. I also wake up earlier than planned most days because I’m way too hot. Even in the winter.

My suggestion is to point a fan directly at your bed. On high.

Congrats on a successful transplant! I promise it gets easier 😊
