Antibody Infusion

I am on W&W 1-1/2 years. Steady numbers with white count at 16-19. Last Wednesday tested positive for Covid even though I had two Moderna shots in Feb and March and a booster in August. Not really having symptoms other than a stuffy nose and a bit of loss of taste. Getting a monoclonal antibody cocktail infusion today. Anyone have any insights as to what to expect? After-effects? Any comments or insights would be appreciated.

I believe I got the Regeneron infusion. It went fine, feel great. But I had no real covid illness symptoms in the first place except losing my sense of taste and smell. So far so good.

CBME,

I’m sorry you’re sick but sounds like you did all you could do.

May I ask if you tested positive on Wednesday, why did you not get the monoclonal infusion that day?

Feel better and let us know how things go.

My husband had the monoclonal antibodies after exposure but his was four shots one in each arm and two in the stomach he had no reaction at all and he did not come down with Covid

Hi, I had the infusion , was in for 2 nights to monitor as a PE is a risk. Covid lowers Platelets and as I am just in remission on acalabrutinib it was a risk. Antibodies worked with 12 hrs and my breathing go better.Cheers

Glad you are doing better. Got the infusion on an outpatient basis and am feeling fine. No covid symptoms except loss of taste and smell.
