Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks for your response Gwynne, that is a very good idea. However the only "nasty" that I'm still on is prednisone, 10mg. I know of it's effect on mood, etc. The other one, Imuran, I haven't taken since Dec. jimGwynne Keyland wrote: Hi Jim,Just a thought. At transplant, they warn you about the bizarrebehaviors some people experience on the various meds - mostlythe anti-rejection ones - for the week or so following transplant.Stuff like delusions, very realistic nightmares, ranting and highemotions, etc. I'm just wondering if there's any chance some ofwhat you're describing could be related to some medication youmight be taking. I'd ask a doctor for sure, as well as have a sleepstudy. Sorry you're having this problem. ouch.Hugs and blessings,Gwynne 57 Single-lung transplant on 4-3-08 at UTHSC -San , TX Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 YUK A.J. what a horrid development for you ( & your wife!)..there IS a known connection between Prednisone & Psychotic Episodes but usually on much higher doses. maybe it's not working well with the Imuran???? THe only other suggestion I have is to find a really good hypnotherapist to see what is going on for your sub-conscious. Perhaps you're experiencing a 'letting-go' of stored up anxieties from long-term work or some such????????? Thinking of you friend & hoping you get some answers & relief..this must be casuing you both SO much angst! love, in Oz Hi Jim,> Just a thought.
