There are several reported individual cases of this happening but medical professionals are skeptical about it.

Some of my friends who've had transplants do mention that from time to time they felt differently and acted more like their donors. I would think it happens to a percentage of people. For me, not really. Don't think I got any of my donor's traits, at least not that I or he can tell. I believe this is true.

Since then my mother has complained that she has inherited a couple of my annoying habits such as waking up early (which she never did)and a physical habit of tapping her foot (which she used to always tell me irritated her). Myself and the whole family have noticed it and can't believe it. Hi congrats on the heart transplant, last November I donated a kidney to my mother.

Congratulations. Sorry to say i know of no evidence to support either side of the quest. But I have a VERY VAGUE feeling that blood transfusions affect personality very slightly. But I am sure it is so transient, no body notices it. Then again, there is nothing paranormal there. Many other proteins apart from cells get into you through transfusion - such as antibodies, cytokines, and loads of bits of hormones, neural transmitters etc. which sure affect the recipient. But this will never make you see the world in a different light or gain new likes and dislikes. Its just a body response to received chemicals and will fade away before anyone notices it. Hope this helps. What an open minded blog. Congratulations. Sorry to say i know of no evidence to support either side of the quest.

Congratulations on your Heart Transplant. I had a double lung transplant on 9/30/05. I can offer two things that have changed since the transplant. For one thing I used to be a big coffee lover, our huge coffee pot was always on, 24/7. Since my transplant all I really drink is water. I can't stand drinking coffee. I like the smell, but I have never been able to drink a whole cup, so I don't try. The other thing is a little one, but after transplant when our kids were visiting I asked if anyone would like a soda. My kids turned to me and asked, "since when did you start say soda?" I don't know it just came out so easily. In Pittsburgh we say Pop, not soda. My donor is from Charleston, WV. I don't know if that means anything at all. I know the organs came from Charleston, but I don't really know just where he is from. I'm new to blogging, so my site will get going as soon as I learn how to do some things. Sandy I am very impressed with your website. Congratulations on your Heart Transplant.
