"Maintain my serum ferittin level in normal range after splenectomy"

<< < (7/8) > >>

Andy Battaglia:
Shaziya,

In addition to penicillin, the pneumonia vaccination is also usually given if a patient has had a splenectomy.

shaziya:
HI ANDY.
thanks. i am so sorry to keep on bothering u but  i dont think that i have not been given the pneumonia vaccine . is it given once after the surgery, if that is so maybe i dont remember if i was given since i was v young. or is it given every year or something bcoz i hav never taken it any time these past few years..
thank you so much.

Dori:
Is it really recommend to take pencillin after a splenectomy? I have never taken it but again I met someone in the PKD world who is taking it for 10? years now andi s 17yrs old. Can he ever stop with it? What's the common answer on these kind of questions?

shaziya:
hi dori.
 i have also been taking penicillin for more than 10 years now. i guess it is our life long friend whom we cant forget.
