3rd dose of COVID vaccine….
I am trying to schedule an appointment for the 3rd dose of COVID vaccine done at the hospital I had my kidney transplant. However, this particular hospital only offers Pfizer. I am very uncomfortable getting a different brand as CDC recommended the same brand for all three. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus

Complications from Immunosuppressants
I am almost 6 months post kidney transplant. I developed a 24 hr fever on July 30, along with headaches and very large painful mouth sores. I could barely eat or talk. My white blood cell count was low but creatinine was normal. The docs tested for everything including CMV, Epstein Barr, and did swabs

Fast heartrate not a symptom of being undermedicated.
Just spoke to doctor and he says if your undermedicated, it will cause bradycardia NOT tachycardia and having read replies to my previous posts, this appears to be untrue. I'm just so frustrated and angry having to deal with doctors who don't know what they're talking about, God help us all!!!

Echo findings
Whilst in hospital with fast AF I was given an echocardiogram. This was my first echo in AF. I have an echo every 6 months and the last one was normal except for dilated LA which they said was down to my weight. On top of dilated LA, this echo showed mild tricuspid regurgitation and borderline LSVF
