@contentandwell you are always so understanding and full of positivity. I've always appreciated your support. There are just so many new people full of hope and questions that I don't like to drag my story on and on but that is just what seems to be happening. Post transplant I've just had so many problems from diabetes (post transplant) skin cancer shingles 5 ERCPs pancreatitis and over 12 hospital stays lasting no less than 10 days each. Now I can't digest food as my pancreas has been messed about with so much. I'm back on domperidone and lansaprozole to try and sort this out. I am actively isolating as Ontario is in lockdown but I also moved cities to look after my 86 year old Mum. Right now she's healthier than me 😔

Thank you, @gaylea1. I truly am so sorry for your continuing problems. I don't know how things are in Canada, but if your current medical team does not seem to be helping can you get other opinions? Your problems seem to exceed what is typical for post-transplant.

We too are isolating, not going anywhere except out in my non-crowded area to take walks. We have everything delivered.
You are so good, with your own problems, to be helping actively with your mother. I'm sure she appreciates it. My husband is 85 and he jokes that when he married he figured I would be taking care of him in his old age but he has zero problems. I have been the one with problems, which thankfully now are only two - osteoporosis and my diminishing hearing.
My thoughts and hopes for things to improve for you are with you. I hope you will keep us informed on how you are doing.
