Dizzy still after my liver transplant

Hi, as previsouly mentioned, my patient had kidney transplant.
I asked nephrologist if she can lower the dosage to 1 tablet twice a day instead of thrice a day, she doesn't want too. She thinks Myfortic is not causing the lightheadedness/dizziness.

Hi

The information says Liver Transplant, hence my state of confusion.

** It’s the same feeling I had before I had my transplant with my old liver. Please respond thanks, everybody**

Thanks

@jeeeemv, I'm going to go along with the doctor's opinion that this dizziness will go away in time. Recovery from transplant surgery is an individual thing. So much depends on the patient's pre transplant conditions and any pre existing health conditions.
Using a walker and a cane is great! It is a proactive way to assure that client will get up and moving. This will help increase strength and stamina for independence. I needed physical therapy because I had been depended on a wheelchair and walker prior to transplant, due to my advancing liver and kidney failure. Healthy eating, staying hydrated, and getting physical activity like walking are what my team advocated for me. As a patient, and that is what helped me. Take it slow and steady with slight increases. Also make sure that patient IS taking medications according to the doctor's orders. There will be some adjustments as time passes, but for now - the health of the new kidney and preventing rejection if the primary concern.

jeeeemv, Has your client thought about keeping a list of when he/she notices the dizziness? This might be something for the transplant doctor to see. Is there someone who is available to be with client when he does walk?

@jamesduaiswamy, You are justified to be confused! You are correct: the title reads liver transplant, and the discussion includes patients with other transplanted organs. That is because we all have similar reactions to medications, and similar pre/post transplant experiences.
