Hi Jess, I fully agree with the earlier posting. Here is another possibility. Your husband is a recent recipient and will be probably on lots of meds for the 1st 6 months to a year (the most critical time). Believe me that lots of meds will be reduced or even eliminated. Many are adversely affected by the meds but will settle down to maintenance amounts, so be patient.
Another point is that it would help if your husband can join a transplant support group. He will find that he is not alone and hopefully, his feeling will change when he learns more about others' experiences. Talk to your social worker or coordinator.
