Happy five year anniversary! 🎉🎊🎈if your primary won’t order I’d definitely check with your team, maybe explain your circumstances. I’m not sure if I’ll get a booster as the first two increased my neuropathy. I see my neurologist next month so I’ll talk with him about it.

Let me know what the results are.

@athenalee I did sent a message to my transplant team but last time they said no. I suspect they will this time too. As soon as I sent it I regretted it because I am fairly certain they won't order that test.

When they say no I will turn to my PCP. That's what I did before and she did a lab order for me.

@athenalee So sorry to hear that your neuropathy was worse after vaccines. Has that continued to be worse or returned to your baseline? And how long is it since your last vaccine, if you don't mind sharing.
I had a third Moderna Aug 25 which produced no antibodies again. I'm late 60s, 3 yrs out from heart transplant. Taking Cyclosporine, Mycophenolate and low dose Prednisone (due to chronic AMR—antibody-mediated rejection). I've definitely had a rougher month symptom-wise, but am not sure if I can attribute it to the vaccine, since my body hasn't adjusted well to all the medications and side effects. Thankfully though my heart is functioning very well!
