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

One thing I did notice in the packet for my one year biopsy at Mayo, it said to stop Biotin several days I believe before your labs at Mayo. Started doing this whenever I have labs and my numbers have come up a little bit so perhaps it does mess with the numbers. They didn’t tell me to stop taking it altogether though. I have taken it a little more sporadically recently because when I was sick I was only taking the required meds. I may even stop taking it all together and see what happens. So wonderful to hear everyone’s experiences!

Hey @jennifer0726 😊 Thanks so much for the heads up about Biotin and the lab results! That's really good to know. Since I am taking Biotin every day and my hair is still falling out, maybe I will take a "vacation" from it too. I don't like taking anything that may effect my drug levels. All I take now are my Cellcept and my Envarsus. My liver enzymes are slightly elevated on a consistent basis caused by the meds so I don't like to add any more stress on the system with more meds if there is not a significant reward (like more hair!) I totally agree with you that it's wonderful to hear about everyone's experience and share tips, ideas and knowledge!
