Thrush after anti-rejection treatments: What helps?

Hey:
Don’t know what my numbers were, but they were fairly high. I tried checking mychart for results but they weren’t listed. I’m repeating both tests on Feb 6th so I’ll let you know what they are.
I know what issues you can have with rejection drug doses and infections. I’ve had breathing issues for the past two months that won’t go away no matter how much prednisone or antibiotics they give me. I have an appointment with a pulmonologist the same day I’m at the transplant clinic. Hopefully they can figure it out.
I hope you get your issues resolved soon. I know it can be discouraging at times , but hang in there. Docs can usually get it figured out.

@jbaggi, I like your realistic and positive vibes! Yes it can be discouraging at times, and we do have to trust our doctors, the experts. I have complete trust and confidence in my Mayo transplant teams and my PCP, who have guided me in the right direction for 13 years post transplant. It sounds to me as if you are under the care of a very competent and caring team, too. I hope that in 13 years you will be announcing the same thing.
@jbaggi, @hello1234 - Here is a support group where members are talking about ALLOSURE tests as well as other tests for rejection. I know that you will enjoy meeting and sharing with other about the tests.

jbaggi, I will be thinking of you as you have your appointment with the pulmonologist. I hope that you learn something about your breathing issues.
I experienced breathing issues several years after transplant, and we think my issue was related to lowering and getting off prednisone (as indicated by research and combination of liver and kidney transplant).

You are awesome @jbaggi 😊
I always appreciate how strong and upbeat you are! I am so sorry to hear about your current breathing issues. Luckily, February 6 will be here soon! Please keep me posted on how things go for you and thank you so much for your quick response. I look forward to hearing your update after you see your docs!
