..."So now we need to go to Australia to get decent medical care..."...

I just recently got deathly ill with what could have been covid. I'm 70, overweight, diabetic, with heart trouble. The doctor said I qualified for monoclonal antibodies, but my covid test was negative. Doc said we will wait a couple of days and test again in case of a false negative. We both agreed that the antibody treatment is what we want, but it's in short supply.

I asked in the mean time if I could have a script for Ivermectin and he said yes. I had to drive to a nearby city to get it filled as every close pharmacy was out. Another problem was cost. The prescription varied from $43 to over $150. I was able to get it for $60 eventually. I now have a stash for whenever I might need it. The point is doctors will work with you if they aren't threatened. A doctor is legally allowed to prescribe poison if they believe it will help you. If they start saying "It's not FDA Approved for what you have" they are looking for an excuse to send you home to die. Off Label meds are given every day. Make sure you have a doctor that will go off label and you will do fine. These kinds of things should be discussed long before you need off label meds. Get a real doctor and not a bean counter. He can write down you have worms if he needs to write the script.

chuckles, it is certainly worth a try while you wait for monoclonal antibodies - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Prayers up for your healing!

And if you can't find the prescription form, you can always go to the Tractor Supply and get some for your "horse."
