There is a whole battery of tests that my transplant team had me take before they were able to discuss my case and get my rating. It is not a fast process. Due to my advanced condition when I met my team, I was able to have my case rushed and got through all the testing in a little over a week. However, that entitled doing up to 25 tubes of blood at a time.

Wow, that's a lot of blood! I'm not sure where I'm at as far as what rating I would get. I've just started using oxygen about a month ago. I'll probably start taking Ofev soon. I'm not looking forward to it. So many side effects!
