The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (who are 12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg), with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing and who are at high risk of progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.
REGEN-COV has not been approved but has been authorized for emergency use by the FDA. This use is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. Healthcare providers should review theFact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for information on the authorized use of REGEN-COV.
Sorry to hear this and best of luck to you.
I hope you got the treatment and are feeling better.
May I selfishly ask what health care agency was able to test you and then to set you up so quickly for this infusion?
Thank you, and again, best wishes for a quick recovery.

It was through Next Level Urgent Care in Houston. I ended up cancelling last Tues because I just wasn't feeling that bad. I have since rescheduled for me and my wife for next Monday.
Thank you!
I hope this treatment works for the two of you!

Update. Had the therapy today, day 8 of Covid. This is the worst I have felt yet. Fever up to 102.4, can't bring it down, I am completely miserable.
Maybe it will turn tomorrow, but 8 days of 101+ fever absolutely sucks!!!

Are your O2 levels staying strong?

Woke up this morning feeling much better. Not sure if it's the therapy, or just time to get better. Either way, I'm grateful as I have never felt that bad in my life. My O2 is good, BP is good. I'm so relived now, thank you.
Great news! That must have been horrifying. May the recovery be nothing but downhill from here.thenational said:

I was getting better, but today I was diagnosed with pneumonia, so not so good. Taking meds, trying to avoid the hospital.
How's it going today?
Hang in there.
Hang in there.
First day I have awakened with no fever in 12 days. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel finally.
Had a similar experience. Went about 5 days with a fever and then got pneumonia. O2 dropped to 89 and off to the hospital I went. Spent 5 days there on o2 before I was able to go on my own. It's been 11 days at home and I'm still pretty weak but getting stronger and more stamina everyday.
I'm 37, 5'11" 190lbs and pretty healthy. **** was not fun. Not vaccinated.

was this a vax breakthrough case?
Not vaccinated. I updated my post cause that's important.
And down the rabbit hole I go again. Fever up 101.8 today, can't catch my breath. The weird thing is, my O2 is 95. I don't get it. I feel awful AGAIN. Hospital won't take me.

May be time to try some alternative medicine. Ivermectin?
Already been taking that

What was the hospital's reasoning for not admitting you?
Praying for you.

They will only admit me if my O2 dips below 90.
Thank you Mark, much appreciated.
Lay on your stomach as much as you can and Google breathing treatments. Other than steroids this is what helped me the most.
Praying you are better.

Thank you. Today, my first day without a fever in 14 days!
Answered prayers. God is good, so very good.
