Sue, this was my first engaging in mayo connect & I am so glad I began engaging! She has not checked for antibody that I am aware of- but given it’s been over 5 weeks since her positive test & she already tried the monoclonal antibody treatment- I would assume she has antibodies for sure… She has no underlying conditions- healthy 52 year old female not taking any medications to suppress her system. She had just had her first infection almost 3 months prior to this most recent august re-infection…so she would have had antibodies develop in May as well…I’ve read about studies on the long term antibody that gets produced after infection- as a potential “cause” for the over-active immune response in some of these long term covid individuals. Her Eosinophils were really high on one of the last blood work ups she had done. Inflammation of heart, low blood pressure, shortness of breath, winded very easily, physical exertion makes everything way worse. She has covid headaches that are severe sometimes, tinnitus that will not go away, still no taste and smell, lung damage doctor said “would heal with time” and chronic fatigue that’s debilitating. She has to set an alarm for 9am and takes a while to get going because the brain fog is so bad. She was always a 5am coffee person. But We have set up an appointment with my integrative medicine doctor as the next step for her to try. I will be driving (she lives 2 hours from me) to pick her up and take her on Tuesday for a full consultation. She has tried everything locally, so she wants to try this approach. I went to this practice to “detox” before TTC and she diagnosed me with autoimmune disease-Hashimoto’s specifically & increased risk for type 1 diabetes among host of other great insights to my body. I had not known I had any autoimmune prior to January. Hopefully this appointment can unveil something to point us to a more targeted treatment to get her back to normal. The next step would be to seek out appointment with Mayo via the references you provided if we still do not move in the right direction after this step tuesday. Thank you so much for the references! I shared them with my mom and it led her to another link that was the biggest revelation we have made since this whole process! On The Atlantic there was insight to a woman who described almost exactly everything she has and experiences day to day. it provided some hope that there are people out there with MUCH closer aligned symptoms than any studies, discussions, articles, research, insight, videos, etc we have come across to date! thank you so much for sharing those links, they have already provided so much new information to both of us. Thank you thank you! 🙏🏻
