Has anyone had monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID infection?

Has anyone here had this treatment and did you have any side effects from it. There seem to be a lot of side effects.

I had covid the Delta variant in August 2021. I was fully vaccinated Pfizer in Feb 2021. I was very sick from the covid I actually thought I was going to die. My Dr finally told me I should get the Regeneron infusion. I was on about day 11 when I received the infusion. I think it saved my life and if I hadn’t been vaccinated helped save me too. But, I am having long term effects from covid. Shortness of breath, elevated heart rate with symptoms, brain fog and still tired all the time. So, far Doctors have not been able to help me. They just don’t have enough information and research on the long term effects.
I hope someday soon I will feel normal again.
Thank you !

Yes. I had it on day two of being tested positive. I am a 76 year old female and in fairly good health. It felt like I had a head cold and was very tired for about three days. I think the antibody infusion helped me a lot. I was tired for a while after that, and lost my sense of taste for a month, but otherwise Covid was not bad for me. I had my vaccinations in Feb and became infected in Sept. I highly recommend the infusion.

Hi, I am one of the individuals you asked for comments on our experience with monoclonal antibody treatments. My husband and I received the bamlanivimab infusion this past January. For us, we feel, it was a life saver. Our symptoms were fatigue, fever, severe aches, respiratory problems, nausea, and others. We went into the treatment center; the infusion took one 1 and then 1 hour of observation. We both felt 90% better when we walked out. The only systems that remained (for a few more days) were fatigue and very few aches. I had been experiencing serious breathing problems; I was on the verge of contacting my doctor about going to the hospital when I received the infusion. I strongly encourage anyone (within the 10 days window of symptoms) to contact your doctor's office so receive the information of when and where to go. We are very happy we had the opportunity to receive it. It is a shame that knowledge of the infusions are so limited and so many people did not have the opportunity to receive this treatment.

The infusion that is now available is not what we received a year ago.
