Needs some help and prayers from the good people on here. Been a long time lurker but this shit just got real for me.
My girlfriend has been sick for 4 days now, and the urgent care place we went to today put her on an ambulance to the hospital because the chest X-rays showed pneumonia in both lungs and the doctor said it “presented” as COVID pneumonia. She can barely breath right now, blood oxygen at 85
They tested for both flu and a rapid COVID test, BOTH came back negative. The doctor said she didn’t believe the result was accurate...
She has had a fever of 102 on and off for the last 3 days and can’t eat or drink without throwing it back up. Body paid and chills, a little bit of ear pain as well but no sinus congenstion at all. I gave her a dose of ivermectin on Saturday when everything was still very mild, and a second dose on Monday, with no effect. She has been taking vitamin D 6000 IU each day and as much vitamin C and zinc that she can keep in her stomach (which isn’t much because she keeps throwing up). She’s very stubborn so I couldn’t do any sort of full protocol. It was hard enough to get her to force down some water. At urgent care they tried to put in an IV for fluids but her veins are very small and they couldn’t get it to work
I asked and the doctor at urgent care said she can’t do the monoclonal antibodies because it’s “too late for that” and her symptoms are too severe at this point. I tried to reason with my girlfriend and told her we could drive ourselves to a hospital and they could do it as an outpatient procedure anyway but she can barely breath so she didn’t want to risk passing out on the way there, chose the ambulance instead
They won’t let me into the room or even sit in the hospital waiting room, so I asked for the form for durable power of attorney and told my girlfriend to ask for it as well. Hopefully we can get that signed before they do anything to her. I want to make sure they don’t intubate her or give her any remdesivir.
She is 25 with no pre-existing conditions, she is NOT vaccinated. I’m very confused how she could be getting such a bad case?? I think it might be bacterial pneumonia instead because they haven’t run the cultures yet so they don’t know. They are going to be running a PCR test no doubt, but we all know it will come back positive whether or not that’s actually true...
I’m pretty sure the only reason the ivermectin didn’t help is because she threw up the second dose, but I am going to push for the monoclonal antibodies once I have the power of attorney.
What else can I do here??
UPDATE:**
PCR test came back “positive”, of course...
My girlfriends cell phone died so I am waiting for them to get her a charger.
In the meantime, they put her aunt down as power of attorney because they said I can only be her power of attorney if it is arranged PRIOR to arrival....once she is in hospital they have to use next of kin... I call bullshit on that one but I spoke to my girlfriend and she is not thinking clearly so she just wants to trust the doctors and keep the power of attorney with her aunt. Fuck!
She had a fever of 105 so they are using ice packs and nasal O2 currently, also running bloodwork. One of the tests came back as “borderline sepsis” apparently, so they are double checking.
Understood. The PCR test came back positive just now, but I spoke with the nurse multiple times and asked them to run the cultures to see if it’s bacterial just in case because I have absolutely no faith in those tests
If it has been longer than a week since the initial infection, you may no longer dealing with a viral infection. Most respiratory viruses will run their course in about a week. What makes people so sick is the secondary type 1 hypersensitivity response that follows the infection and causes all the damage. This can occur very quickly on the eighth day after the initial infection. Sometimes a person starts to feel a little better and thinks they have turned the corner only to get very ill - quickly. If her Covid has now moved into a second phase, to continue to throw antivirals at Covid, including Remdesivir and Ivermectin, will do little to halt the progression. However, Ivermectin does have some immune modulating activity and is more helpful versus Remdesivir or other such toxic antivirals. At this stage, antihistamines and steroids have been seen to turn this around and do so quickly. Inflammation is the enemy at this stage and some medical interventions only exacerbate the problem. I am glad you are seeking the medical power of attorney. That is the only way to protect her from medical kidnapping and attempt to control her treatment.
Things to use to fight inflammatory Covid sequela are: Prednisone and not dexamethasone along with comitant use of H1 and H2 antihistamines to help to mitigate the attack on the tissues. H1 antihistamines like promethazine and H2 antihistamines like cimetidine are useful. She has both lung and digestive symptoms so the antihistamines may help. Budesonide has also been shown to help with compromised breathing. Antibiotics are only useful for secondary bacterial infection. Usually viral pneumonia is bilateral with equal sounds, while bacterial pneumonia is usually on one side with unequal sounds. Please review the following material to see if this may fit her case. God's speed to you fren.

God bless and good luck
No remdesivir! She need high flow oxygen, and antibiotics. My mother in law is going through the same thing right now. Bacterial pneumonia, they gave her remdesivir and put her on a vent the first night and her kidneys didn't respond well to it, so they stopped the remdesivir. Once they got the lung infection under control with antibiotics, they found parts of her intestines had died, most likely from the remdesivir. So she had to have a big amount of her intestines removed as well. She's on the mend now and getting better every day, but be wary of that remdesivir shit.
The kind of cultures hospitals like to run may not show for pneumonia and they take 24 hours anyway. Just get the antibiotics. The side effects of most antibiotics are mild so the consequences of over treating are a non-issue.
Well, it's hardly uncommon for a viral infection to be followed by a bacterial one. I'm sure that's why the rebel protocols like Z stack include an antibiotic and why they have been successful.
Pcr doesn't find covid so they'll have her on the wrong regimen.
