Wow, thank you @jackiez for jumping in! You shared lots of excellent ideas. I am thinking about researching a wig as a possible solution since I am not crazy about the idea of changing my medication away from Tacronlimis. I was surprised to hear that your transplant team did not like idea of oral Biotin. Did they share why they prefer that you don't take it? I currently take one every day so I am curious if I am doing something bad for the transplant.
I like your idea of just asking for a polish change. That's a nice safe alternative to a full manicure!
I totally understand your desire to engage with life again while trying to keep the risks minimized. It was nice to hear that you successfully enjoyed a wonderful long vacation with nice restaurants, etc. It gives me hope that I may join in the fun too! It's been a long isolated two years of being scared so "a nice restaurant on vacation" sounds like HEAVEN!! ❤ Thank you for sharing all your experiences and ideas Jackie!

I am not exactly sure why no oral biotin. I do have another post transplant friend that has been taking biotin and it altered her Tacro scores. So Mayo told her to stop taking it. Maybe it’s different for each person.
