Vaccine Recommendation after severe Covid and monocolonal treatment?

Posted by nichirschfield @nichirschfield, Jan 13, 2022

My husband had severe Covid (non-vaccinated)at the end of October. Got monocolonal treatment in the hospital on Day 10, ended up on a ventilator for 2 weeks. We were advised not to get vaccine until 3 months after the monocolonal treatment. We are approaching that at the end of January. Any recommendations on which vaccine to get and any info we should know about getting first vaccine after all of this?
Thank you

We are very similar but I have no cough. I have deep regret about getting that shot two months after recovering from Covid as I now know that my natural immunity from recovering would have served me well. I will continue to search for ways to get this thing fixed but I feel I now have a chronic or life long issue that may now become a new normal and it may decrease my life span as a result too. I will continue to read this site and hope I will see or hear of some good news. Good luck to you and all of us.

He just got the Pfizer vax on Tuesday and so far is doing great. He was sore for a day but after a little Ibprufin felt fine. I hope you feel better soon.

Good luck @nichirschfield. I hope his experience post shot goes well. Would like to hear your feedback on this forum a couple weeks from now to hear how it is going. Thx.

Good...Think I know exactly what you mean...It's like the pressure is what limits you and not congestion directly in the lungs. Therefore attributing it to inflammation..?

@bunzman The pressure/heaviness is kind of like an engine governor as it keeps me from doing as much/as fast/as long like I used to less than a year ago and even this past summer in June and July when I was recovered from covid but before the first shot. The heaviest inflammation and resulting fatigue tends to increase after activity that I now consider strenuous where it wasn't very strenuous before. 8-16 hours or more after the activity rather than instantly after. I hear it called "Post Exertional Malaise" when I hear others speak about the fatigue symptoms.

Stick with it and pursue help as this journey in terms of getting insight into the "post" covid has just started. We've had different strains and who knows how each one in terms of post complications have something to show us. Not sure if your exercising should be controlled and you shouldn't push it , but get a dedicated health professional specializing in this to follow you on this...I have a friend who has feelings of cold feet and hands as a precursor to aches and shortness of breadth. Very different stuff, but hopefully the most important pieces of the puzzle will become more obvious as we begin to know what we're looking at...

thanks to all who have been posting re: Covid and vaccinations complications. My husband has had the same issues - Covid in 2/20, vaccinated last March/April and boosted in Dec. Was really starting to do much better and debated whether to do booster - should not have done so. Back to square 1. Similar health prior to all of this re: being very active, fit lifestyle and now has issues with lack of stamina/fatigue, shortness of breath, daily major headaches, sound/noise sensitivity, chaos sensitivity, speech impairment (dysarthria), brain fog, depression, etc. it is very disheartening. Beginning to see broader medical cognizance of the issues surrounding long covid but very little yet on treatment options/recs. Has been on numerous supplements and attempting to do more low impact exercising (elliptical). Hope like hell we can find more answers in near future but it is good to have this forum to share and provide support to each other. For this I am extremely thankful. Sending out a whole bunch of positive juju to all

Good luck @ebergfeld . I bet you are having a hard time finding anybody to tell you / your hubby that he may have a vax injury as a result of the shot(s)??? It is hard, if not impossible to prove, and thus that is why we won't hear that from anyone anytime soon but we have our suspicions don't we? I wish you well and yes please continue to post if you find a solution to his issues and I will as well. How dare they force this shot on us/anybody.

I am not a doctor but from what I am reading, your t-cells should serve you well. Also the Novavax vaccination with fewer side effects hopefully will be coming out soon. These are just my thoughts. Research on non-censored search engines to find out as much information as you can and decide for yourself what is best for you.

thank you. I am finding the same information.

Is there any new research relating to Natural Immunity vs Vaccinations for individuals who had Monoclonal Antibody Treatment and Severe Covid?

REPLY

Update: My husband recieved pfizer vaccine 3 months after his hospitalization/ventilation. He did both doses and had no side effects, and is doing really well. He was able to return to work on March 1st.

I for one prefer Moderna. Due to your husband’s age, however, based on general reading I do, there would be no reason for him not to get Johnson and Johnson. However I believe Moderna is more effective and that is the one my doctor told me to get.
