For COVID-19 "I am vaccinated and got Covid and was hospitalized because of low oxygen and am immune compromised. They only gave me one IV treatment of it. They put me on steroids for 10 days and breathing treatments every 4 hours plus inhalers. My oxygen has been ok but none of that has helped. I am still coughing, headaches, and short of breath. I see my asthma dr tomorrow and hope he does something different."

For COVID-19 "I'm 64 male, went to ER after battling COVID for 13 days, my O2 at 88.. first night I got remdesivir, dexamethasone and lasix and put on 3L of O2...within 36 hours my inflammation test numbers were way down, and I felt much better. I was discharged after 4 days when my pneumonia cleared. I recovered at home with additional 5 doses of dexamethsone...6 months later I feel fine. I don't know what remdesivir did for me, but in combo with other drugs, I went from feeling like I was dying to walking out after 4 days without oxygen. Can mow lawn, take walks, lift weights..my kidneys seem fine"

For COVID-19 "I was sick for two days. I felt like I got hit by a truck. Stayed home to try to get better for two days. Got worse every day. My husband took me to the hospital and I was given five days of Remdesivir. I believe it saved my life."

For COVID-19 "My son (fully vaccinated) contracted Covid, and lives with me. I have a compromised immune system and my doctor recommended antibody treatment in Nov 2021. It seems to have caused an increase in migraines, very high blood pressure, and periodic painful, pinpoint skin infections (primarily on the fingers). The headaches persist (7 months later, but skin infections have resolved. Medicine for the blood pressure has been started. I have not contracted Covid, so the anti viral therapy worked."

For COVID-19 "My 13-year-old daughter spent 2 weeks in the hospital. The first 9 days were at home before getting a positive Covid test (after 2 negatives) at 2 other hospitals. 12 of those days with a fever over 104 with bilateral Covid pneumonia. She was treated 3 days with Remdesivir. Heart rate was in the 40s and O2 in the 80s. She needed supplemental oxygen, of course. I do think Remdesivir saved her life. I was just wondering if anyone had extreme hair loss after using it? They say it could be from the fevers, but who knows, really..."
