Let me start off by letting you know that I I'm 60 years old and have Autism Spectrum Disorder. it is a struggle to put down what I am trying to say without it turning into a novel. So my daughter always tells me, "give me the Reader's Digest Version mom" which is almost always impossible for my brain to accomplish.

I had the antibody treatment about 5 days after my covid symptoms appeared,.(4 days after Thanksgiving) I had a choice of either through IV or injections in my stomach. Since the injections were a little bit quicker, that is the route I took. There was 2 people that gave the injections to me simultaneously. There was 4 injections. Two on the lower right front and two on the lower left front of the abdomen. There was definitely no improvement in my symptoms, I actually seem to get worse and the covid lasted longer than I figured it would. After the 14 days quarantine it turned into Long haul symptoms. Which are severe fatigue and tired all the time. Still no taste or smell, shortness of breath, brain fog and dizziness. I just had some blood test done last week and it showed that I had elevated Carbon Dioxide levels. I go to the doctor on the 13th of January for her to go over my blood work. Has anybody had this? I don't know if this is considered a symptom from the antibody treatment or from the covid 19 itself. I have also been having low oxygen off and on. Also whole body weakness. Also green when blowing my nose. I hope that was appropriate to say. I'm not trying to gross anybody out.

Hi Philippia, I love that you and your daughter have a code of "just the Reader's Digest version". I want to invite you to the Autism group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/autism/
Were you diagnosed as a child or an adult?

Back on topic of long-haul COVID.
I'm sorry to hear that the monoclonal antibody injections didn't help you. I wonder if you had had COVID for a longer incubation time before symptoms appeared. Would you mind sharing what you learned at your appointment last week? Were they able to explain the elevated carbon dioxide levels? Have pulmonary rehab or breathing exercises been recommended?
