I read a little on it, and it sounds a lot like IVIG. Here is an article that says it is used with people that are high risk including autoimmune diseases.

The article seems to say that we should take it.

Hope you get through Covid smoothly,

Good Luck

Thanks Russ -

I also found this.

Got the test this afternoon, Will get the results in 1 or 2 days. Swab.

Talked to my Neuro's Nurse. They do not know much about this therapy and Bows to my PCP's position. Clearly this is new stuff, but had hoped that he, my Neuro, is familiar with this Therapy. To be fair my PCP was also not fluent in this therapy either but had heard about it. She, my PCP, did some research and thinks it will not cause any damage.

Still have a minor headache and sore throat. No temp.

We shall see. :-)

Hope it doesn't get any worse. The treatments coming out for Covid are coming fast and some are tested better than others, but I suppose doctors are so overworked now they are not keeping up as in normal times.


Good Luck
Russ

Thanks Russ -

No test results yet.

Feeling OK. :-)

As long as you feel OK, I would not undergo any unnecessary treatment. Good luck to you.

This article says it is helpful to get the plasma

RESULTS
A total of 160 patients underwent randomization. In the intention-to-treat population, severe respiratory disease developed in 13 of 80 patients (16%) who received convalescent plasma and 25 of 80 patients (31%) who received placebo (relative risk, 0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29 to 0.94; P=0.03), with a relative risk reduction of 48%. A modified intention-to-treat analysis that excluded 6 patients who had a primary end-point event before infusion of convalescent plasma or placebo showed a larger effect size (relative risk, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.20 to 0.81). No solicited adverse events were observed.

CONCLUSIONS
Early administration of high-titer convalescent plasma against SARS-CoV-2 to mildly ill infected older adults reduced the progression of Covid-19.

No test results yet. I must be OK.

Needless to say, testing here in Texas, is poor and these days the labs are very busy.

Test results received this morning - Negative. :-)

Turns out my test was sent to California because the Texas Labs are overwhelmed.

Thanks to everyone for your responses.

Scott

Yay, Scott. I am glad your test was negative.

Thanks Nan - Me too.

Great! Stay safe!
