Do Nothing
When a problem first arises, one's first tendency is usually to ignore it and hope that it goes away. Suspected problems sometimes turn out not to be a problem at all. Or they can resolve on their own. Otherwise, you must consider other options.
There are situations in which you are best to do nothing for a time. But some assume that just because they can do nothing to directly resolve a health situation immediately, there is nothing that they can do. Someone who adopts this approach risks shifting between fruitless struggle and despair. This is unfortunate and not necessary. As we emphasize throughout Surviving Transplantation, there is always something that you can do to help yourself.
