Summary
Sarah received Vyvgart (efgartigimod) infusions in the same Long COVID trial, though the article does not specify her exact dose or schedule beyond trial participation. She had been bedbound with Long COVID for months before treatment, and on the drug she improved enough to spend eight hours doing manual labor outdoors, feeling much closer to her pre-illness self. The article does not say what happened to her after the trial ended, so whether the improvement held or faded afterward is not stated.
