Not vaccinated. Been taking NAC, Vitamin D, quercetin. Symptoms started late Thursday. Oxygen has stayed 95 or higher. Fever has bounced around from 99-102 with Tylenol. Currently only around 99 temp.

I’m 30 5’7 160 pounds.

I don’t have a primary care doctor. Would like to go get monoclonal antibodies. Not even sure where to start. How can I go about getting a referral? Coming up on my window of 72 hours. In the State of SC not sure if it varies by state.

Sorry if this post is butchered. I can’t think very clearly.

Keep doing what you are doing…..tons of fluids
As hard as it might be get up and move around. Try to wall for 20-30 mins. And whatever you do stay out of the hospital!! They make it worse

Your state department of health should have a website with covid numbers and info such as the MAB treatment.

I’d start there. Or you can call an ER or walk in clinic .. they may be able to help with info.

The hardest part of COVID is not being able to taste or smell months later.

Since I got it on a weekend, I just went to an urgent care-type clinic to get tested. After testing positive, they asked me if I wanted to start the antibody treatment. (I declined.)

Seems like you have a mild case, just let your immune system do what it is designed to do. Why go through these measures if you are clearly fighting it off?

Go to a walk-in clinic. Call ahead to advise them of your symptoms.

You’re an adult. Get a PCP.

Do you have any medical conditions? You might not qualify for the antibody treatment but I think BMI > 25 will get it for you, just say you weigh a little more to be on safe side

Why are you not taking zinc? the Quercitin is there to make it easier for you to absorb zinc which is a key player in fighting a virus. That said you will be fine, fear not the reaper. And unless you are Black or Brown they won't give you monoclonal antibodies anyway.

I'm recovering today. Got infusion Wednesday. As others have said, go to a quick care facility and let the prescribe the Regeneron and go from there. It will make a huge difference in about 24 hrs.
Prayers friend.

Cigars were the only thing that tasted normal for me during COVID-19

Me too. Go to an urgent care or ER to get the diagnosis and referral to an infusion center. In my state, I needed a referral, but see what's required in your state.
Where I am, infusion centers are slammed. Get in asap, and don't give up calling to get an appointment. The infusion itself is easy!
Any signs of lung involvement, get right on it. Load up with treatment and you should be fine.
I was diagnosed on Tuesday and got steroids for bronchitis, got my Regeneron on Wednesday, got antibiotics for the lungs/cough yesterday, and continue with my supplement regime.
Only one really bad day and feeling better already, although it'll take a few more days for the lungs to clear.
Hang in there.
