@krsunny1,
It has been a couple weeks since you have been here, so I am wondering how you are getting along. Are you feeling any better after connecting with other transplant recipients here?
You mentioned bothersome side effects of medications. All of us have experienced some side effects from our medications, and I know that myself and others would be willing to listen and to share our experiences that worked for us. What kind of side effects are bothering you?

Side effects that bother me the most effect my sleep patterns. I am wide awake at night, but sleepy in the daytime. I have been talking to a sleep specialist who thinks I have obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep disorder(?). Will do overnight sleep study at Mayo sleep lab in mid May to confirm.
Also, restarted individual therapy with psychiatrist. Feeling some better emotionally, but still a deep sense of loneliness. May have more to do with recent retirement, isolation due to COVID and distance from family than my lung transplant. I am connecting with transplant community in Georgia which helps. I will keep you updated on my progress.
