Let's hope that EIDD-2801 works then.
Nets Hype Experimental Virus Treatments, Bash Drug Boosted By Trump
Tonight I feel I'm being held captive watching heart touching clips then horrible predictions. There's so much going on in the news, lots of hopes vs lots of sad news and it's making me feel bipolar.
Last night I posted about my own experience taking Plaquenil with no side effects. I see in the article there's concern for a few people having a heart reaction; however, there's some claiming it helped get them on the road to recovery. I'm just shocked at the controversy all over the news about it. It has done wonders for many people with RA and Lupus, and has been around a long time.
It's done wonders, but the only trouble is we can't get our Rx Refills now.
But... I understand that there hasn't been enough formal trials testing it on Covid patients. Announcements were made to the public, Dr. Oz and Trump were very hyped up about it and voiced high hopes for the anti malarial drug, perhaps too often and too soon. Unfortunately, it has created big controversy and a shortage of the drug for patients depending on it.
I take it for RA. I heard on my local news I'm not the only one who only got 14 days worth. A little girl with Lupus, which affects her kidneys and organs, takes hydroxychloroquine and that little girl only got only 14 days! They want us to keep going back to the pharmacy when we're suppose to stay home? I have no problem being shorted, but they better make sure that little girl doesn't have kidney failure. What a mess with all these shortages and viewpoints.
I try to keep my mind on something else other than the virus, but our governor takes up the morning shows, then in the afternoons the city health officials talk and they all want a turn, and then later the mayor, oh and the President, of course. I've heard it all. Thankfully, we have great streaming capabilities to ease the boredom of Pandemic Isolation. Whew,
I guess I needed to get that off my mind.
