Thanks all the are saying I'm steady had to take me back to 40 liters of o2. So a step back.

The covid is still spreading and the xray showed that.


Its been very hard today.

So sorry to hear. Hang in there, keep fighting. Try to get sone kind of anti-viral. If they won't give you ivermectin, get the new pfizer(mectin) medicine. Don't let them leave you in a corner, fight for your health. Demand they treat you.

The pfizer pill has nothing to do with ivermectin.



I think it's only been tested pre-hospitalization. Doesn't mean it would hurt. Certainly a better option than an anti-parasitic.

Prayers to you Rebel for a fast recovery.

**** this virus. You've got this.

Went through this in July. I'm 37, 5,11" 195 lbs and exercise daily. Caught Covid and was sick for a week before getting pneumonia. O2 dropped into the 80's and off to the ER I went.

Spent 6 days on O2, took remdesivir, antibiotics and steroids. The biggest help in my opinion however was laying prone and breathing exercises. Do this more than they require of you.

Long story short my O2 came back and I went from high flow O2 to leaving without any O2 help. Took me a good three weeks before I started to feel myself again.

Absolutely nothing wrong with questioning your docs motives and strategies. Any respecting physician should not have a problem explaining it and most don't mind.

Kudos to you for being in decent to good shape! This saved my life most likely. And will save yours as well! Get well soon and do those breathing treatments!!

Wanted to add that the nurses and docs helped save my life too! Big kudos to the Covid nurses! They had to come in armored up every time I needed something. God has a special place for nurses!

Also adding that I took Ivermectin the week before going to the hospital. Did it help? No idea. Also no idea if remdesivir worked. All I know is I went in sick and came out better. So props to the medical community.

Ag Rebel, how you doing? Hope you're getting better.

Paying for you.

(My husband was in the hospital for 11 days with this in May. I remember them letting his O2 and then having to bring it back up. It happens. Do what they tell you. Are they having you lay prone? My husband had a hard time with that, but they really wanted him to do it with the pneumonia. He's back to normal now. It was really scary at the time. It took a real toll on his mental health being in isolation like that. Will pray for your physical and mental well being.)

No unless you want total kidney failure.

Kidney failure is COVID patients is almost entirely driven by the combination of persistent hypoxia and renal microthrombi. Remdesivir is a largely a confounder in that equation, as it's usually reserved for patients on at least 4-6 L NC (varies by facility). When accounting for severity of illness and correcting for other things, rates of kidney damage attributable to remdesivir are relatively low. MUCH lower than many of the antibiotics we give people all the time.

Now, the more data that emerges the less benefit it seems remdesivir has. Anecdotally (admittedly a worthless data point) I don't see it benefiting most of my patients who get it. But it's safety concerns are vastly overblown by those who wish to contrast it with things like HCQ and ivermectin.

If it's any consolation, the relative degree of opacification on X-ray day to day matters very little and beyond a certain point doesn't correlate well with relative clinical severity. Your X-ray will look terrible for weeks and abnormal for potentially up to several months, long after you've recovered. Daily X-rays in most patients is unnecessary and not helpful.

Hoping you feel better quickly, I know it's scary but even among those in your position the majority recover well. It may just be a longer recovery.

Rebel- any update? Hope you're getting better.

Still struggling.

Trying to prone but can't get comfortable with the high flow 02.

Thank you all for the well wishes

Keep working, praying for you

Prayers for you

Praying that you know how much all of us are hoping for your health to improve, and for you to be able to feel the support of your AGGIE family, and God's peace. Will be checking in and checking on you.

OP, hope today was a better day than yesterday. Get better soon, and keep on fighting.

Pretty sure it's the lack of oxygen caused by Covid that's rough in your kidneys.

Doing better lowered my o2. But thats scary.

Apparently even through the monitor had me at 86% when I got to the hospital my blood gas was like 30. Hours from dying...

God is good all of the time. Glad you are doing better

Continued prayers for you Reb. Have been thinking about you often. Keep fighting

You got this! Been in our family's prayers this week, great to hear you're progressing!
