It’s giving 2021 first-round dose vibes, when I realized I was obese by BMI standards and got my shot. So yay for being able to qualify again I guess. Wild that blood clotting disorder is again not listed …

Exactly what I thought. Mike is a former smoker, which is how he qualified. I had BMI and immune suppression meds.

I remember the chatter on Twitter at the time was many of us qualified by BMI. A bunch of others as former smokers. Just wild we are back here.

I made my NP ask me the questions last time because the big work project had me in a bad place. May push again this next visit to I can have multiple check boxes. Thinking…schizophrenia maybe? Or maybe just progress my type2 and get fatty liver.

I will exploit that BMI loophole for all it’s worth! Planning to see if my doc will administer it at my appt at the end of September. Hoping Oschner has it by then.

Same, it’s the one time I will accept it. Otherwise it’s racist and sexist and can go to hell and die.

Y’all my original pre-diagnosis BMI is still listed on my chart. I’m not svelte by any stretch, but that number ain’t me any more. But…I’m not going to remind her during my next office visit. 🤨

I see a loophole. Everyone can claim to be a former smoker

So MS isn't on the list in spite of the fact most people with MS are on immune-modulating meds? They really are trying to kill us all.
