yes i did post transplant. the only thing i hated was it would make my nose extremely dry in the morning or sometimes cause a bloody nose. luckily i was only on it for a week.

What is the reasoning for it to drop? Is it Covid related?

, not covid related. Gaining 20 pounds in 6 months and not being active enough.
