I’m a Covid nurse. Sounds accurate to me. We see people like her with all her variables. Lungs close up, inflammation like if you shut your thumb in the door, swelling, it just doesn’t go down if you take ibuprofen or another Med, it takes time.
People with chronic lung failure and double transplants have blood oxygen around 90 percent, when it gets in the 80s they are dying.
Her lungs have no open spaces, it’s wall to wall inflammation.
At that point you have to wait for the swelling to go down. It’s no longer the virus, like your thumb is no longer between the door jams.
The reason it swelled is gone, now you have to wait for the swelling (inflammation) to go away.
No meds really make swelling go away. Just like in hives. Or a black eye. Ice may reduce a little bit but that swollen eye will go down with time. You could add a bunch of steroids, but it still takes days or weeks.
In my hospital we ask very nicely if they want remdesivir and nurses aren’t supposed to bring it in unless they ask the patient each time.
We also allow patients to bring their ivermectin in as long as they keep it to themselves. We let them take it. Often they’ve been on it for weeks and come in with lungs closed up.
Hope that helps you understand how swelling/inflammation works.
Ivermectin may have lowered the viral counts early on leading to less swelling, but once it’s swelled, I can’t see a mechanism for that to work. Probably as an early preventative treatment.
Even if it’s bacterial, it’s the same thing. They can give antibiotics to kill the bacteria, but the swelling will go down over time. We do give Covid patients plenty of antibiotics. We treat the patients, not the diagnosis. We don’t so much care what’s causing it, we hit it from any direction that might help,
You're being dramatic. 02 in the 80s is not "dying". People with sleep apnea drop well below that. I was high 80s when I walked in to the ER under my own power and I had very little trouble breathing.
It's still a medication and can affect the body in strange ways. Another poster says that it builds up in the body so that is something to be concerned about too.
The benefits are generally immediate and the treatment window narrow so only take it as needed. Which may include a once-yearly treatment for parasites.

Good luck and god bless. I will pray for you!
We used francincense essential oil ( theraputic grade) & turmeric with success...

Are you having the patients lay prone?
No one should be taking ivermectin long term unless they have a really good reason to, like working in healthcare around covid patients.
Why?
