Hi Carlene,
I agree with all the posts here but I have had a different expirience. I am 5.5 mos post transplant and I had complications during surgery. Anyway, right after transplant I forced myself to move around and actually got better, went back to work full time and the gym two months post transplant. Then I started feeling very weak but didnot know why. The doctors did tests and could not find any cause and all the time I got weaker. After about two months (still working full time) I could not take it any longer and decided to go for a second opinion - there they found I had active parvo virus which was causing acute aneamia.Anyway, to make a long story short, I am now on the amend, but the point is, remote as the chances are - weakness and fatigue can have other causes than just post surgical trauma as I was being led to beleive. If i had not been a pain and demanded a second opinion, I do not know where I would be today.Chances are that your sister's fatigue is normal post transplant effect, but do not rule out anything. keep the doctors on their toes and do not accept any standard pro forma explanations.
Subash.
