Hair loss after transplant, probably Tacrolimus: Anyone change meds?

It is scary! I mostly eat at home, but occasionally get drive thru, eat out at times when it is less busy like right at opening or mid afternoon. I never eat fresh fruit, salads or veggies out-food must be HOT. The pizza had always arrived very HOT, but it must have been handled by someone with unclean hands. I have groceries delivered to avoid busy stores. I rarely shop in a store anymore. But, I also think we cannot live completely isolated. I am home most of the time since I work here, too. Sometimes I just go for a ride to get out without going in anywhere! Right now I am longing for a pedicure, but nervous about going. Hopefully someday travel will be possible!

This is accurate! I have such bad anxiety thinking I’ll get food poisoning. I completely understand.

@jennifer0726 I can't believe how much we have in common! Everything you mention, is something that I think about too! I am dying to go for a manicure and pedicure. Pre-transplant I had weekly manicures on Saturday mornings and pedicures every month. Since my transplant, I have not returned to the salon. I received several calls from the shop promising that everything is clean and sterilized but I am afraid of the little cuts that can happen during a pedicure. I know you are correct that we eventually need to return back to life, but it's hard to decide how much risk I am willing to take for these small luxury items that I used to enjoy. Speaking about luxury, I used to enjoy a quarterly massage at a local resort Spa. It included the massage, and a complimentary lunch served around their beautiful pool. I am afraid to have a back massage because you lay on your stomach. I wouldn't want to have any pressure on my new kidney. I don't think I will go for a massage anytime soon. Please keep me posted if/when you go for your pedicure. I will keep you posted on my fistula surgery. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me. It sounds like we are going through the exact same thoughts. Maybe because we are both fairly new to all of this and transplanted during covid!
Thank you again for all your kindness and advice! ❤
