How do you get ESRD Medicare if you get a preemptive kidney transplant (before dialysis has begun).
Does anyone know the particulars of getting ESRD Medicare prior to the start of dialysis? Medicare’s guidelines say that you qualify in the month that you receive a kidney transplant, but they don’t say what day of the month or if you start your application after you have already received the transplant

Re: Vaccine efficacy
Hello, I have no intention of this post becoming a debate. Yesterday I saw a post regarding vaccine hesitancy and I had some information I wanted to share however the comments had been turned off. There is someone at my work who received an organ transplant and was advised not to get the vaccine as it

Ramipril I was prescribed ramipril 2.5 mg to start for high blood pressure but it didn’t touch it . Was put up to 10mg which has helped , though have read this dose is for heart attacks or heart surgery . Anyone else on a high dose ?

Covid booster
I've just been to have my covid booster and they refused to give it because I have had open heart surgery in August, said I could be at risk of inflammation around the heart, I now have to get advice from Cardiology Consultant to see if it is ok to have. Anyone else experienced this? I had Astra Zenica

Vaccine hesitation
As some who has had a liver transplant and on immunosuppressants obviously and also having had a portal vein thrombosis I’m reluctant to have the covid19 vaccine As reported early on in this “pandemic” certain vaccines were and still are responsible for clotting, besides the clotting issue the fact

Update and question about verapamil
Quick update.....stopped flecainide and reduced verapamil. Feeling good and no afib, no SVT. Surprisingly blood pressure which was always good dropped (now 107/68), but Verapamil is meant to lower blood pressure. go figure.
