I didn't experience any illness after the infusion. Sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well.

How long will I feel like **** after the infusion. It's been about 7 hours so far. I just puked

Don't hold me to it but I think I have heard 24 hours and usually a rough first night included. Hope that's all for you.

Were you feeling like this before the infusion? If so, probably just COVID doing its thing. If not, I'd imagine that's a pretty uncommon thing. However, at days 8-9 post symptom onset, you likely already have sufficient antibodies in your system that the infusion won't do much for you. At this point your body just needs to recover from the damage and inflammation from COVID and the immune response your body put up to fight it off.

Jb99 how are you this morning? Hoping for positive progress after the infusion!

The Biden administration is withholding life saving treatments as a punishment to red state citizens. My daughter was one of those last night. I am thankful that she was able to get the treatment, but the doctor was very worried that they would not be able to continue treating people.

Does your daughter meet the criteria?
I hope she is well soon.

Starting to feel better now. Last night was really rough. Very nauseous and lots of coughing. Very hard to sleep, but I made it. Started feeling better around 1 today, so about 24 hours after infusion.

Now my problem is I running out of breath everytime I do anything physical like walking in the house. Anybody know how long this lasts? When do I start getting my lung capacity back?

I know two folks that had the shortness of breath with minimal activity. One was young (34) and was about 95% back to normal after 2 weeks. The other was mid-forties and took about 3 months till he felt mostly back to where he was before.

No, not so far

Trump was treated with this, yes?

Yes and Abbott

That is wild but that seems (unfortunately) pretty common. Almost an immediate initial turn for the worst followed by a nearly identical quickly turn around for the better. Hope things trend only better from where.

Unvaxxed extended family member is Covid + - mid-late 30s, no co-morbidities. Tested positive today. Tried to get an infusion but at first they were told they weren't high-risk (despite months of hectoring that being non-vaccinated is high-risk). So the doctor noted on the request for an infusion that the patient is slightly underweight, hoping that would trigger the opportunity to get an infusion. This time, they couldn't get an infusion because they are underweight and you have to be a certain BMI to get the infusion.

This is super-defeating. There's a solution presented that provides excellent efficacy and recovery and somehow it's not made available to someone who needs it.

Could the individual claim hypertension or does it have to be documented from previous diagnosis?

Was this doctor in person? Can the individual claim to be a slightly higher weight than they are and then just wear coat / large sweater when going to get infusion? Does infusion site verify??

It is because the data shows no benefit in people with no risk factors since their risk of bad outcomes with COVID is incredibly small. Why do an infusion with data to show it makes no difference for that patient?

But if we have the treatment available why not offer it. I am not saying government pay for it but if the individual wants it and wants to pay for it ($2,000?) what is the harm? Why deny treatment.

It trying to be cute here but are there not 'small but real' risks related to the vaccine as well yet we blanket mandate for people in his "risk profile"?

Are we talking about an over 1% risk? If so, then maybe I get it.

Understand and appreciate the response.

They pursued antibodies because the positive anecdotes are overwhelming. One ER physician I trust (but who is not involved in this situation) who has dealt with Covid patients everyday since the beginning of the pandemic highly recommends it for everyone, implying it significant shortens the duration of the illness in just about anyone who takes it early enough.

I know several who got Covid and, because they weren't at high-risk, just isolated and waited until the disease progressed into borderline dangerous territory before seeking treatment. They all said they regretted having not pursued treatment options, such as monoclonal antibodies, earlier.

At what point is being unvaccinated going to be recognized as high risk?

That is an excellent question and I agree it needs to be looked at.
