    Oh, rats! I'm sorry to read that. Hoping and praying things turn around for the better again. You must have the patience of a saint, putting up with these inconsistent results. Hang in there!

    I got a call the next day requesting that I return today (Friday) for repeat blood test. My results aren't showing yet online, which is unusual, so hopefully they'll be available tomorrow and show some improvement.
    So sorry the numbers declined again. Thank you for the update.

    I wonder, when the numbers are down do you also feel a change or is it only the numbers which tell about it ?

    It's hard to say. I'm still having good days where I definitely have more energy than before the transplant. But my bad days seem even worse than before transplant.
    There is the possibility that my bad days aren't actually worse than before transplant, but as I now have some good days to compare them with (pre-transplant I didn't really have good days), it makes them seem much worse.

    I think my main concern (except for declining kidney function), is that for the first 2 months after transplant, I slept much better, woke up early, wanted to actually get out of bed and enjoy the day, plus I also had much more energy. Now I feel the mornings are almost the same as before transplant (i.e. the opposite of all the positives I've just mentioned).

    Can it be related to the amount of pred that you take ? Or to stress because of the decline in the numbers ?

    May your numbers be higher, May your kidney behave good, May your days feel good, May you feel energetic and joyful. We pray for a perfect recovery.

    Just a quick update.
    There was a delay in receiving my latest blood test results, but I'm happy to report my kidney function has improved slightly (by 1%, to 36%). It's not a big improvement, but with so many results showing a decline in function, any results that shows the slightest improvement is reassuring.

    Well, I wish it was more of an improvement, but agree that it is worth being happy about in the face of all the previous ups and downs. I guess it's just going to be that way for awhile. Thanks for the update, and looking forward to the next one, which we can hope will be good. The stress of waiting for results must be hard on you, and I hope you've found ways to relieve that stress. All the best to you!!!
