My Bone Marrow Transplant: Day 19

Headache developed around midnight due to the cyclosporine and I was given drugs for treatment.  My lab results came back early and I needed to receive a blood transfusion; the premeds given to me helped me get a few hours of sleep.

My mouth felt much better and was only slightly swollen.  The rash was almost gone and did not itch.

The doctor's visit that morning was mainly about getting my stomach to wake up and start functioning better.  My stomach and bowels were at a stalemate.  They were also concerned that the cyclosporine was increasing my blood pressure so they started me on a new medication.

I noticed around 9:45p a rash on my arm had developed that was different than any rash I had before as was lower and on the inside of my arms.  The nurse decided we would watch it through the night and it was gone by morning.
