Congratulations on your transplant! I’m a liver transplant recipient just over a year ago. I still have minor tremors, although mine may be related to an autoimmune disease I have, or both. They did decline, however, after I was able to reduce Tacrolimus. If you haven’t tried biotin for hair loss, it’s a blessing! Pretty much immediately after I started taking it my hair loss declined and it’s no longer an issue. I started with 5,000-10,000 mcg. Another thing that helps is to use a light amount of argan oil along your hair roots, let it sit, and then wash it as normal.

I was reading a recent post which had some good dietary input. If you are interested and have time, we’re starting a transplant recipient culinary arts webinar series. We’d like to feature different recipes and tips which pertain to the health needs of transplant recipients and those on transplant wait lists.

Here’s the original post -https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/transplant-culinary-arts-zoom-sessions/

Our first event will be on Thursday, October 7 at 4 pm western / 6 pm central / 7 pm eastern.

To your continued post transplant health!

@athenalee, @leahdrose - Here is a correction to the link to thr Culinary Arts Zoom Sessions which start on Thursday, October 7 at 4 pm western / 6 pm central / 7 pm eastern.
I think the hyphen caused a problem.😉

@athenalee Congratulations on your liver transplant too. I hope my Tacrolimus will be reduced eventually. Thank you for the tip on taking Biotin and applying argan oil. I will ask my nephrologist if it’s safe for me to take Biotin.
I’m definitely interested in the transplant culinary arts discussion and will attend the sessions.
