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

Shaziya,

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

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.

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?

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.

Yes, 100%.

Taking it for the past 25 years now. The good part of it is that it seems to have built some kind of natural, immunity in me against all the common infections <fingers crossed>

cheers
