we have been thru hell today- after getting approved for the antibody therapy spouse and I were told Thursday. The infusion center then called and said if we wanted to get today to go to emergency. So we go to emergency and they say they will do it. We go back and they do a bunch of tests and because as soo as we got there they automatically put us on oxygen (my oxygen levels ranging between 92 to 94) spouse was 90. The doctor then comes in and says no according to FDA they cannot give it because we have hypoxia and would have had to be 95. THIS IS WHAT I’M DEALING WITH.

And I recall in the early days, they really did blow lungs out.
Also the antiviral they were using then, not approved, required normal liver values. Some docs posted that at ten days with covid, no one had normal liver values.
This was all back during the first wave...when they were figuring things out..
