I had a liver transplant in 2008 and am going well. On Dec 29th I tested positive for Covid-19. Very mild symptoms but my local doctor recommended I get an experimental drug that may relieve some symptoms due to being a "high risk" patient because on transplant, 80 years old and other complications. Today Dec 30th I received Bamlanivimab intravenously. I went through the 4 hour procedure and all vitals are normal but I have to quaranteen for 2 weeks and get a blood test sent to Mayo every week.
I just wanted to let everyone know there are experimental treatments out there. I am feeling fine and will try to update this of any complications.
