My husband has PLD (polycystic liver disease) with an extremely enlarged liver

Hello, in the past few months I've had an apt with my hepatologyst and blood work was great and I was feeling good (granted the cyst and expanded belly). However going on 2 weeks ago, I've encountered a flu, my son brought home and I'm still fighting this cold while my family is well over it.
Is this normal? I will also add, I'm so tired.

@iowachica, I'm sorry to read that you caught the flu. I hope that you are feeling better. I don't recall whether you are waiting for, or have already received your transplant.
From my experience, it is normal for me to take longer to get over anything like a cold, or bruise, or cut than my family or my pretransplant self. I also find that infection is a big concern and my local PCP told me in my early post transplant years to contact him anytime, and he even saw me without an appointment.! I also get tired more easily since my transplant.
Did you contact your doctor or transplant team? How are you feeling now?

I would at least call/ if not go to the doc to make sure you don’t have an infection. Those can be deadly in our situation if not found quickly and treated aggressively. God bless your health.
