Despite my best efforts, I have managed to come down with Covid 19.
Felt strange Saturday night, and was sick as a dog Sunday. Fever, body aches, cough, all that good stuff. My hunting buddies wife (who is a nurse) came back positive on Monday, he on Tuesday. My test on Wed. was also positive. He and I spent last week deer hunting together.
Being high risk, my doctor signed me up for a new treatment protocol called "Infusion Therapy". Same treatment President Trump took. A high dose cocktail of antibodies administered via I.V. at my local hospital. This treatment was just recently given emergency authorization by the FDA.
Just completed it about two hours ago. My buddy will also be undergoing the same treatment this evening.
I have talked to as many nurses and Dr.'s as I could about it in the last couple days, and they all have said with what they have seen so far, it really can make a difference, and has greatly cut the number of patients they have seen who feel only so-so, think they are getting better after about a week, then crash.
So, time will tell. The reason I am posting this is to let folks on this forum know about this treatment, and its availability now to the public. If you are high risk, and come up positive, I would ask my Dr. about this option, and frankly wouldn't take "no" for an answer, knowing what I have learned about its effectiveness.
My friends wife, who has no risk factors, is not doing well. She is now hospitalized on oxygen, and is no longer a candidate for this therapy. It must be administered 10 days or less from the start of symptoms, and should not be used once oxygen therapy is needed.
This China virus is no joke.
