Dr EW's reluctant experience with Ivermectin

Dr EW was my kampung neighbour,  Tengkera Pantai 1, long time ago and also our Melaka's GBS secondary school chat group members due to her attendance in form 6 ( pre-U).  

A very talented nice lady since young and she has more than 10 thousand patients throughout the last 21 years in her own clinic .    Rated one of the most caring doctor in Klang thus far ;

A very self disciplined person , jogging every evening and hardly sick for years . As a frontliners,  Dr EW had been vaccinated on 1st April 2021 and subsequently 22nd April 2021. 

The devil Covid-19 strikes 

=====================

10th October 2021, 

She told us  " I sudah kena jackpot, oooo " , fever for 3 days already.   Her nurse was tested positive from the PCR swab test 3 days ago.  Prior to fever , 5 days ago, she felt strange as she can't perform her routine jogging due to tight chest and difficulty in lifting her arms.  

My immediate question to her was " aren't you thinking about a low dosage of Ivermectin? " .  She was not replying clearly somehow and wait for tomorrow if it gets better. 

11th October 2021,   

Dr EW suffered heavy coughing, phlegm, nose blocked,  tasteless and fever on/off , <39degC. Oxygen saturation level was fine. Again,  I triggered another reminder " take Ivermectin today perhaps? " and reluctantly she replied " what's the appropriate dose like ?".  Bro TDL also add on with a few good references and advice.  I could only convince her with following news from Japan which was reported in Taiwan news channel;

Ivermectin helps to reduce 1000 times of virus after 24 hours and subsequently 5000 times after 48 hours.   I add on to highlight about the reference of State's Health Bulletin, Uttar Pradesh India, dated 15Sept2021,  showed zero death , positivity of 0.01% after providing Ivermectin low dosage to all the  infected people for maximum 5 days . Note, Uttar Pradesh is the most populated state in India, 241 million people.    Then the most experience guy is  bro   KDH who recommended Dr EW to take 2 tablets of Ivermectin ( morning and evening,  12mg each) because she is already at the 4th day of Symptomatic Phase which is dangerous if it crossed into 6th days,  a pulmonary 🫁 phase. Finally,  she started Ivermectin 🙂.

12th October 2021,  

WhatsApp appeared with her message in the early morning " Gud morn ! B4 u ask me,let me give my report to u first....for the 1st time in days...am able to sleep almost right thru from midnite to 6.40am!!!!

Only once did i get up coz i had a sudden sensation like my whole body kena electricity zap .Dunno why.... It was like a sudden bolt of zap n then disappeared. I got up to go toilet  and  zz😴 again. Woke up sudah 6.40pagi am. Whole of last nite..no fever,no cough,no runny or blocked nose,not much bodyaches except due to sleeping on very thin mattress on floor."  She added " Cake..still tasteless but i could feel just a bit of the cooling mint in my throat. Yesterday evening can't feel it at all".  Definitely a piece of positive news !    She continues Ivermectin for one more day , means to see the results after 48 hours. 

13th October 2021,

No more fever,  no sore eyes anymore , still tasteless of course.  Oxygen saturation level back to  98, 99, 100.       That's a marvellous result indeed after 48 hours.   She stopped Ivermectin after 2 days.  

A week later, her taste and smell sensor resumed partially.  It takes time to heal obviously. 

Lessons Learned/ comments,

1. Avoid over stressed or overworked.  She was under tremendous stress prior to the infection because one of her nurse resigned with short notice  due to pregnant.   Body immune system was affected obviously. 

2. Make sure your surrounding people are constantly check with Antigen Saliva test kits. 

3. Exercise regularly,  walking,  jogging,  cycling,  to enhance your body's immune system,  the most effective way thus far. 

4. As a professional medical doctor,  these doctors are not going to prescribed Ivermectin to patients for sure.   Always keep in high discipline with  face mask,  avoid over crowded places and constantly sanitising yr hand . Do take high antioxidants agent like VitC or multi-Vit.  

5. Ivermectin seems to be a wonderful effective medicine especially at that initial five days of Symptomatic Phase ( Phase 2).  Most of the data , especially in India, is showing 48 hours of consumption adequacy (at phase 2 ) in order to prevent the covid-19 virus entering into the next dangerous stage , i.e. Pulmonary Phase or Phase 3.   Take note that over consumption of Ivermectin is detrimental.
