I'm on Zepatier for Hep C. Managed to get a very nasty case of pneumonia just after starting that and was hospitalised including ICU for 10 days. I've been out of hospital for 6 weeks now and was starting to feel better. Then I came down with what I thought was a cold earlier this week and I tested positive for covid last night.
I reported the covid to the liver team. They did not make it clear I was going to be referred to a covid team but I have been rung out of the blue to be offered Xevudy infusion (can't take Paxlovid tablets due to the Zepatier).
It's all a bit unclear as to whether I should take them up on this offer. I asked them if they or the liver team were advising me to have it - they said it was up to me. But they're not going to offer me an expensive antibody infusion unless they really think I should have it, are they? I'm not sure why I feel some reluctance (apart from the sheer inconvenience surrounding the location of the clinic and time needed given how tired I am already feeling) but I really don't need covid getting into my lungs.
Has anyone had the infusion? Thoughts? Experiences?
