I have NHL for about 5yrs. On and off treatment. Recently diagnosed with hemolytic anemia, got 6u blood and 2 doses of IGG. Have DM, Afib, CHF and other comobitites. My husband is on the vent from covid 19 and I am positive. I am SOB but O2 does not drop below 90%, lack of endurance, fatigue. I walk about 40ft and need to rest. No Dr will give me any meds to help me get over this. It’s been going on almost 3wks now. I am so frustrated. I am taking vitamins zinc and C. Anyone else know someone who is not in the hospital but has gotten the covid meds? I know of some here and have improved in acouple days. My Drs say it is too experimental. Thoughts please !!

@Tomatovilla Hello Tomatovilla, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm so sorry you and your husband are going through this, I can't imagine how scary that must be for you both. Let me tag some members who may be able to offer some insights or share their experience with you.

Hello members I hope you don't mind that I've tagged you. Do any of you know anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19? Were they released from the hospital and treated from home? Have you heard anything about treatments for the infection?

@Tomatovilla Wow I'm surprised they let you go home and aren't taking closer care of you as a NHL patient! I hope you and your husband are doing better! I don't know anyone who's gotten it or is being treated (fortunately) but maybe someone else does? I haven't really heard about any effective treatments either, everything seems to speculative and it takes too long to run the studies and know for sure. Take care and stay safe!

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
