Hi, @mdplastics I'm a bit late in responding, I've been very busy with other situations.

I had night sweats for a very long time. I am now approaching my 6th "transplantiversary" in September and it's only been in the last year that they seem to have decreased substantially. I do still have an occasional one though.

I think I was a bit foggy, or maybe my memory was shorter than usual for a while but that did eventually resolve. I do have other sleep issues which I don't think are related to my transplant, so often I do need a nap during the day.

I wish I could be more help but things overall went very well so there is little that really sticks out to me.

I was initially on tacrolimus but due to it causing high creatinine I was switched to sirolimus. I think the other side effects are similar for both of them though.

Thank you for your comments. I have heard of another post transplant patient with night sweats as well. Still a relatively infrequent side effect of mostly unknown etiology. Vivid nightmares and night awakening remains problematic. The other functional change is short term memory issues and lack of endurance with easy fatigue and tiredness. Good to hear that at least some symptoms have abated with time for you.
