I am covid19 positive today, and I'm a post renal transplant of 3 years. I called my kidney team about being covid positive. I was recommenced to get an intravenous shots of Bebtelovimab. Did anyone here had this antibody and if did was there any side effects? Thanks in advance.

When I was diagnosed with Covid for the second time, I was told to get amonchromal antibody infusion (I know the spelling is incorrect). Later in the day my BP shot up to 150/80 and my temp hit 100.6. When I contacted the transplant coordinator, she said to keep track of my oxygen level and if it dropped to go to the ER. The next day, I was fine and back to my normal. At my next visit with the transplant Nurse practitioner, she said that reaction was normal and expected. I am a year and a half post transplant.
I had this MA on day 7 of my second case of Covid. I had no side effects what so ever. I would do it again if necessary. I am almost 19 years post transplant if that helps.
Congrats 19 yrs.TP. I am almost 2 yrs. LT and when I hear this it makes me so happy. Also so glad u r ok after Covid. I have been so fortunate to not have gotten Covid yet!
I should of said I hope all of u r feeling well after Covid b/c of being TP patients and the MA helps.
MA?
Monoclonal Antibody. I do not know much about it..
I recieved bebtelovimab in early August for COVID. I had a mild cough going in to get the injection next day my cough was mostly gone. No adverse reactions or side effects.
My husband had Covid last month. He’s going on 10 yrs. Post transplant this month. Thankfully he had a mild case and masked up and so did I. He said it felt like a head cold and a little fatigue. I am going on 3yrs post transplant so he had to sleep in the basement for a week. I had an Evusheld injection in June that really boosted my antibodies. He is getting Evusheld his later later this month.
Kidney transplant 11-4-2020. 4- Covid shots 2- boosters. I caught Covid the last week of April 2022. It was to the point I couldn’t eat I went from drinking 100oz of water a day down to roughly 6oz. I couldn’t walk 15 feet to the bathroom without getting dizzy. I could hardly breath. I wound up hospitalized for only two days, given intravenous fluids nonstop. I got out feeling fairly good. I’ve ended up with some long term effects. The first part of June I was given evusheld without any side effects.
Sorry to hear it affected you so badly. The Evusheld really helped me and I didn’t have any side effects either.
Let’s not forget our flu shots, we have to protect ourselves.
Thank you.
we must be vigilant about our health and keeping ourselves well. I will do whatever is needed, we all owe that to ourselves and our donors and their family.
I was given this too. No side effects. I was also given a liter of fluids as I was very dehydrated. I used an essential oil called Breath for my cough. It helped significantly. Besides feeling run down for a couple weeks my other symptoms went away rather quickly.
Hope you feel better soon!

So interesting to hear about all these cases - when I got covid I didn’t get anything but my case was minor so they didn’t want to mess with anything I guess…
