What Covid treatments can transplant patients take?

Hi @cmael
It is wonderful to hear from you.
I am so sorry to hear that you and your husband had to go through such a terrible time with covid! I am sure you were you very frightened when you had covid and then you had to call an ambulance for your husband. What a horrible experience for you both. It sounds like you are both improving, but you are still not fully recovered after two weeks.
I am surprised to learn that your local hospital could not provide the Remdesivir infusions?.
Is Remdesivir the type of treatment that is only available to us through the transplant centers?
It sounds like the oral Molnivipiravir was helpful as a second choice.
Sending a BIG HUG 🥰 and I am hopeful that you are both able to continue to rest and recover now that hubby is back home.
PS. My BK virus is now negative in the blood!

Hello1234
We live in a small town and in the country. The local hospitals are not that large. I had to go the a hospital in a Minneapolis suburb, which is over an hour away, for my Evushield infusions. The last one I had done in January. I know they are no longer considered effective. I feel that I was doing well recovering from a moderate case of Covid, until hit with the stress of my husband getting it. I’ve had a setback with a chronic cough, although I know that many people who have normal immune systems, have the Covid cough for a long time after. It’s more of an annoying dry tickle.
I’m happy to hear your BK virus is now negative.
