As recorded in the article New York PostHe was told Los Angeles Fox 11 that he struggled with terrible back pains, headaches, coughs and fatigues for five days after being touched by COVID-19, possibly at a New York conference.
And his writing, on Monday day, has even poured President Trump on Twitter.
As Giardinier put it, doctors at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in South Florida diagnosed him with coronavus and pneumonia and put him in oxygen at the ICU.
After more than a week, the doctors told him that they had nothing to do with him and Friday evening, Giardinier said good - bye to his wife and three children.
I was at the point where I was barely speaking and breathing was very challenging”, Giardinier said. I really thought my end was there”.
Then a friend sent him a recent article about hydroxychloroquin, a nonprescriptionic drug that has been used to treat malaria for decades and auto-immune diseases as lupus.
Some studies have found it to be the drug in question is promising as a treatment for COVID-19, although it has not been approved by health officials.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said last week he was instructing the FDA to quickly test hydroxychloroquine and a related drug, chloroquine, as treatment for COVID-19.
Giardinier said he contacted an infectious doctor about the medicine.
He gave me all the reasons why I wouldn't have to try because there is no evidence, there is no evidence, there was something that was approved”, Giardiner said.
But after his insistence, the doctor was hired and authorized nurses who gave it to him.
After about an hour with the medicine, Giardinier said, he felt as if his heart was beating from his chest and, about two hours later, he had another episode where he could not breathe.
He says he was given Benadryl and some other drugs and that when he woke up around 4:45 a.m., it was “as if nothing had ever happened to”.
Since then he had no fever and pain and can breathe again.
Giardinier said doctors believe the episodes he experienced were not a reaction to the drug, but his body fighting the virus.
Giardinier, deputy head of a company producing cooking equipment for high-level restaurants in Los Angeles, said he had three doses of medicine Saturday and hopes to leave the hospital within five days.
