Hi- I have Fibromuscular Dysplasia in renal kidney and corotid artery with MALS. I take blood thinner. I have had some anxiety taking the vaccine. I want to take the Pfitzer. I know it is challenging to get feedback because everyone has different reactions. Thanks and have a blessed weekend.

Hi Jayhawk, With your specific combination of health conditions, I recommend you consult with your doctor regarding the vaccine. Doctors are recommending it in most instances. People with multiple chronic conditions are at greater risk of complications from COVID than adverse reactions to the vaccine itself.

You'll also want to ask your doctor if you need to discontinue any medication prior to getting the vaccine. Here's a related discussion that might help you know what questions to ask:
- Are there medicines that should be paused before COVID vaccine? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/covid-vaccine-reaction-with-medicine/

I hope your decision becomes clear after talking with a medical professional. I'll be interested to hear what you learn.
