I am so sorry to hear your story. That is awful. I hope that you find some relief soon. She was hospitalized during covid and given remdesivir and dexamethasone. She was sent home with 2 days of dexamethasone and was great until after she was done with the dexamethasone. That is when everything went downhill. I am wondering if a low dose of prednisone might help. I was also told that maybe an extended course of Paxlovid might stamp out any lingering virus causing inflammation. I wish there were a magic bullet. It seems like we all have to share the information we find since the people on these forums are often more informed than some doctors.

Wishing you all the best.

Hey There! Praying for you & your mom.

The gold antibiotic for COVID at the onset was z-pac and dexamethasone too back in 2020. (This info was given to me from a COVID Unit Nurse Practitioner). These meds are not given as much now, but, they do work.

Dexamethasone of course is a steroid. It reduces inflammation in the lungs and body. If it helped her, I like you am wondering if a low dose of prednisone would be beneficial to her.

I'm so sorry she is battling this. COVID can be so very hard on some and not so much on others. I pray she gets better.

Hugs & Prayers...
