I have covid and I am in the ER

I just wanted to let you know that I have tested positive for Covid and I am in the ER.

I am not doing well. This has hit me so hard very quickly and I am very scared for what is to come.

For those of you that are close know that I have struggled very much with my health and I am very immune compromised and even more so with this super bug amoeba infection in my sinuses.

Please pray or send healing vibes to me. I have never been so sick and in so much pain in my life and this is just the beginning of it.

Thank you all for your friendships here. I will update as I can. 🥺.

I don’t even remember making this post yesterday because I was so delirious with pain and fever.

The doctor let me go home to sleep in my own bed last night because my oxygen levels were okay. I also have an O2 monitor but told me to come back if I got worse.

I am still waiting for the hospital to call me and tell me when to come up for my first monoclonal antibody treatment. They have to get the medication from the city.

I can’t have paxlovid because I take too many medications that interact with that drug. I am just thankful this other option is available to me because I have never been so sick in my whole life.

I feel absolutely horrid and I am so weak. I have never been in so much pain in my life. Thank you all for the well wishes. I appreciate you all 💖💖💖.

@ElwoodBlues thank you for thinking of me 💖. I could just sleep my days away at this point.

@iamonfire696 Oh No! 🤗
Hope any severe symptoms are over quickly and your oxygen levels stay normal and the doctors can give you what you need to you recover well. Rest lots and take it easy!

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@Scribbles My oxygen is okay, I have a pulse oximeter and it’s been good. Just so tired. I have never been so exhausted. Thank you 💖

@SW-User Thank you so very much 💜💜💜

Please request the Monoclonal antibodies IV ...my friend just had it (shes pregnant) in hospital and most of her symptoms alleviated in two days. Its for more acute cases of COVID or compromised patients, but Im sure they are putting you on it soon. You got this, you will fight both conditions with strength, hope and the perserverance you already have in you. ❤️🌺

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@Coralmist thanks lovely. I am getting my first infusion now because the doctor didn’t want to take any chances.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

I am still so exhausted from all of this. Last night I slept 9 hours and I don’t think I have ever slept 9 hours in one night in my whole life. I get that amount of sleep in 2-3 nights.

I had a shower today and that tired me out and I slept for over an hour after that.

I am still coughing quite a bit, I got a pretty bad migraine today and the exhaustion is just unreal but it’s definitely so much better than I was feeling at the beginning of the week.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes and the gifts. That really means a lot to me 💖.

@Slade Thank you 💖

I wish you luck. Hopefully, you presented early enough for therapy to be offered. Even with the severity of the illness, even with there still being deaths, most who develop COVID recover. The odds are in your favor.

@Coralmist it’s definitely like vertigo. They were pushing me in the wheelchair to take me to the hospital room and I thought I was gonna throw up and I even closed my eyes.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@iamonfire696 generally "we" think of cough as a defense mechanism, to clear debris from the respiratory tract, but sometimes it has to be controlled so you can sleep, etc. I assume you are getting fluids, anti-viral therapy, steroids?

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@iamonfire696 Ask your doc if its ok if you buy Meclizine...taking two helped me most. I think it says take one, but two is what they gave me in hospital, when i got vertigo from misaligned jaw. Its like Dramamine. I think it may help you. Also ice packs near my ear and jaw helped it a bit, because the vertigo was caused by inflammation near ear.

I feel like crap but I am thankful for this treatment as I think it’s helping me. I have my IV port all wrapped up to protect it until I am done my treatment.

@GJOFJ3 Thank you, I am sure trying. I hope I never get this again 😢.

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@iamonfire696 You are welcome, its true💜. Your body needs lost of rest, the monoclonal IV, and some time to fight and heal. Each day it will do that..so glad you are feeling a bit better🤗

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@Coralmist Thank you 💖

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

Please keep us in the loop this is awful and scary. :( So many people get it mild now that we forget how extremely serious it can be when you're immune compromised.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@CountScrofula Honestly this has been my worst nightmare and I had done everything I could not to get it but my husband brought it home. I only leave my house for medical appointments which admittedly is a few times a week because I am dealing with so much.

I am glad people are not getting as sick but I have never been so sick in my life.

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@iamonfire696 I'm very worried so thank you for checking in 🤗

@QueenOfTheNerds thanks

TinyViolins · 31-35, M

This is such a gut-wrenching thing to hear. I'm at least happy that you're getting the best medical care you can, but I'm still sorry you have to go through this.

I don't really believe in prayers or positive vibes, but I will say that I am rooting for you to pull through. You're such a positive, prominent member of our ragtag community and it would benefit us all to have you back at full strength.

But life happens and we all gotta ride the struggle bus sometimes. Hopefully our words give you the little bit of encouragement you need to fight back against this thing, because it sounds like it's going to be a fight.

I know it's cliché, but I really do hope you feel better soon. It sucks seeing bad things happen to good people, so a speedy recovery would make a lot of us really happy.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@TinyViolins I really appreciate that. I feel very lucky that the hospital staff could arrange to get the medication sent to my small town so I could have it infused here and not have to travel to the city.

CestManan · 46-50, F

I hope you are able to read these replies because I wanted to say if things get really bad, what you might want to do now is discuss with your family what your wishes are if it comes down to having to be put on a ventilator like if you would want that or not. Because of things get worse and you are not coherent enough to make that decision on your own, you may want somebody who is able to make that choice or at least relay what your wishes would be.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@CestManan I have a healthcare directive set up. I have poor health so I thought it would be a good idea.

@nightjourney I have had them but I am immunocompromised and because I am so sick the doctor wanted to treat me with the monoclonal antibodies to prevent hospitalization. I am glad you are okay.
