Liver transplant - Let's support each other

Thanks, I called them waiting for a call back. But in the meantime I
looked up on the internet. And I determined that it's okay as long as I
don't take a double dose at one time. That applies to all the drugs I'm on.
Thanks very much

My transplant center gave me some guidelines, but even with those I have called my Mayo Pharmacist for instructions about what to do Why dont you call the transplant pharmacy,if you use one, ot your transplant center/nurse.
This happens to others, too. It has happened to me.
Let me know if this works.

@jim1208 Hi, Jim. I like to check up on members in the transplant group. I would like to say that I hope that you are moving forward each day. Have you been to Mayo recently? How often do you have scheduled appointments?

I missed my meds at 8am. It is a 11am. I wonder if I should still take
them?

@tayloryvette, I am concerned about how your body being affected by your liver disease. Have you made any progress with getting transferred to Mayo as you mentioned?

@jbilton, That is good news! And a good way to enter into the month of October.
My experience is that Mayo is extremely proactive about preventive care both before and after organ transplants. I have never been on a Mayo campus during the flu shot season, however when I am there, they do make sure that I am up to date on all immunizations and preventive screenings. My husband did not take the flu vaccine until my transplant team told him that he needed to get it for my protection.
I am curious - Did you go there just for the shot? or Did you get lucky with the timing of an appointment?

they were giving them today at Mayo Clinic!

Here is a relevant discussion in our group about sun protection started by @jolinda :

Is everybody getting their flu shot too?

@gingerw. I knew we were at higher risk but I read somewhere a number of months back that we are at 200% greater risk! My favorite way to avoid sunburn is avoidance. I hate the feeling of sunscreen.

MGH has a dermatologist who specializes in post-transplant patients so I see him.

I have been doing well since transplant. Thanks for asking and thanks for the information.
