(Php 4:6-7) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Living with and through Covid-19

Went for a short walk several days ago and found myself completely out of breath.  Soon afterwards began to develop body ache and a low grade fever.  I decided to get tested the following day for Covid-19.  My rapid antigen test and PCR test were both negative!  Though I was somewhat consoled, I knew that my symptoms were classic for Covid.  I went to yet another testing center and again received a negative molecular rapid antigen test, which is purported to be 92% accurate!  The PCR test from this second center would not be available for 24 hours.

The next day via email I received the result:

positive test result

My clinical suspicion was confirmed.  During the day my fever, body ache and general malaise continued to worsen leaving little doubt that I was indeed another living Covid statistic.

Treatment

I enthusiastically recommend the following pamphlet as an overview of the disease itself and its management: A Guide to Home-Based Covid Treatment. 

The critical treatment information is reproduced here in flow sheet form: Treatment.pdf.

I started using the following medications as soon as the diagnosis was confirmed:

Ivermectin 0.2 mg/kg daily for 5 days
Zpack (Azithromycin) for 5 days
Zinc Sulfate 220 mg daily
Vitamin D3 5000 IU daily
Vitamin C 3000 mg daily

I also started four times daily inhalation therapy based on this study that found that inhaled budesonide reduced the relative risk of requiring urgent care or hospitalisation by 90% in the 28-day study period.

A few days later I received monoclonal antibody therapy as an infusion in a local treatment center. This outpatient treatment must be given within ten days of the onset of symptoms and in high risk patients.  A list of available treatment centers can be found here: https://covid.infusioncenter.org/. 

There is misinformation on the internet that monoclonal antibody therapy is tainted by human embryonic stem cells.  Please see this authoritative statement from the respected Charlotte Lozier Institute: CLI Responds to Misinformation Regarding President Trump’s COVID-19 Treatment (REGN-COV2) that clarifies this issue.

It is very important for me to point out that Living with and through Covid-19 is an informational resource only and not a license for self-treatment of this very serious disease.  Please follow the directions of your own personal physician.

Other than the nuisance of having to quarantine I feel 95% back to normal.  Praise God I am well on the way to living through Covid!
