How did you get through after getting covid-19?

Posted by echo2022 @echo2022, Jul 24, 2022

Hey, unfortunately, my test showed two lines, positive after starting have a fever from three days ago. I just got one shot of vaccine on February because I've had abnormal bleeding for several months, so I didn't get the second shot.
I'm very scared now. Having a fever for three days, 110.1 temperature, and coughing heavier. Do you have any experiences to deal with it? Can we take that covid medicine?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

Hi @echo2022 😊
How are you feeling now? Did the monoclonal antibodies help you to feel better? ( I am hopeful that you are improving nicely! )
Maybe the next time you speak with a transplant team member or visit, get specific instructions on the best way to communicate with them if you need a timely response. Explain your covid situation (high fever, heavy cough etc) when you were trying to get medical instructions and you were unable to get to a live person on the phone to answer your questions. I think it's important for you to have notes on exactly what you should do if something medically urgent like this happens again.

yes, I absolutely will ask the specialist how I can communicate with them in the urgent situation. Thanks for all of your information and advice. They helped me a lot.
The monoclonal antibody infusion worked very well this time. If I didn't take it, I bet I must be in the hospital even in the ICU now.

Excellent news @echo2022 😊
"All is well that ends well!" So, did you end up getting the Remdesivir too or did the monoclonal antibodies infusion do the trick along with some Tylenol for the fever? Did you take anything else for the cough or just the Tylenol and the monoclonal antibodies infusion got you to the finish line? I am sooo happy to hear that you are doing well (no hospital ICU!) I was very worried when I read your first post, so this is awesome news! @echo2022 😊

@echo2022, How are you doing? Did you need any follow-up treatment? Are there any kind of transplant follow-up procedures or labs?

Thank for your concern. :))
I think I could recover fast because of the monoclonal antibodies infusion. I didn't take cough medicine although my PCD prescribed it to me.

Thanks for your concern :)) hugging.
I'm pretty good. I don't need any follow-up treatment. Basically, everything is ok after the infusion.
I'm looking for a liver transplant specialist now.
