Hi! Welcome to the journey of transplant! I remember that feeling of all of the questions swirling in your mind like it was yesterday. I talked to enough people on this site that after 4 months of asking questions, I literally didn't have any more questions to ask. So keep asking those...

Hi! I'm going to give you some quick answers to your questions. My life has changed is such a dramatic way that it is so hard to hit on everything. after transplant, what are some things that you can do that you couldn't do before? I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs before transplant...

I have tendency to get some mucous plugs sometimes, so I would say I do Albuterol and Hypertonic saline maybe a maximum of 3 x a week. And that is only if I feel like I need just a little extra moisture to lubricate my airways. I don't eat raw fish or meat either. I do eat sushi as long as...

Hi, If you want to send me a PM and I will give you my e-mail address. That way, your husband can feel free to ask any questions that come to mind and I can answer them for him (according to my experiences). I'm 7 years out of my transplant so I can shed some light on the process for you...

Maybe I can shed some light on the "sucking in thing". I had a feeding tube for 8 years (but haven't had one in for 7!). I can distinctly remember when I was hungry my stomach would pull the feeding tube in. Think about when you are hungry enough that you get hunger pains. If you notice your...

My teeth were also just like you all described, especially my front teeth. Yellowish, worn out enamel, etc. I ended up getting porcelain veneers on my six front teeth. What a difference. If you can afford to have this done, I would say go for it. But as David said, any sort of capping...

I forget the liters but it was 110% of predicted. I'm going back to the doctor in January so I will post my PFTs if that helps. I know a couple of people have been asking that. My center actually gives a print out at every visit of my historical numbers. So I know what my PFTs were right...

After my transplant, I finished my senior year of college and started working full time two weeks after I graduated. I have a very fulfilling and demanding career in insurance. I've never had a problem with doctor visits, sinus surgeries, or even surprise illnesses. I've always had very...
