A nurse who spent 28 days in a Covid coma fighting for her life has been saved after medics gave her Viagra.
Mother-of-two Monica Almeida, 37, from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, was just three days away from having her ventilator turned off.
Mrs Almeida was given the erectile dysfunction drug by her colleagues at Lincoln County Hospital.
The ‘miracle’ drug caused her condition to improve in just a week and the level of oxygen she needed to drop by half as it opened up her airwaves.
'I had a little joke with the consultant after I came round because I knew him.
'He told me it was the Viagra, I laughed and thought he was joking, but he said 'no, really, you've had a large dose of Viagra.'
'It was my little Christmas miracle,' she told the Sun.
The specialist respiratory nurse, who works for NHS Lincolnshire and was born in Portugal, first tested positive for the virus in October.
Despite being double-jabbed, she lost her taste and smell and was coughing up blood on the fourth day.
After visiting hospital when her oxygen levels dropped, she was discharged - but soon after was rushed to Lincoln County Hospital as she was unable to breathe.
As her condition deteriorated she was taken to the ICU where she was placed in a medical coma on the 16 November.
The nurse was so ill that her parents were advised to fly over from Portugal to say their goodbyes.
But in the eleventh hour doctors decided to use the unusual treatment which had previously been suggested as a way to treat Covid patients as it dilates blood vessels and opens the airways.
She emerged from her coma in time for Christmas on the 14 December and was allowed to return to her family on Christmas

Viagra?
I thought there was just the one thing Viagra could raise from the dead...who knew!?
good thing she was double jabbed or she might’ve gotten really sick.
Did they give it to her or her husband?
If they gave it to her husband, she may get double jabbed again. ;-)
Off-label usage accounts for something like 40% of all medication.
Waiting for the democrat/media/big pharma/Faux-xi cheerleaders on here to say the death serum is perfectly safe with 98% efficacy.
One of my former employees had a father who was a chemist who worked in development of Viagra. It was for hypertension. This is the story he told:
When they ran clinical trials on people with high blood pressure and the trials ended they asked for the remaining pills back. People kept on saying “no” “I lost the extra pills” “I don’t know where the pills are”. The researchers wondered what was going on.
Then one guy said his wife did not want him to stop the blood pressure medicine. It gave him a big “stiffie” and she did not want him to stop taking his pills.
So that is how the Viagra thing all started. If they could relieve hypertension in Covid-19 it only makes sense.
Erectile dysfunction was an off-label use of viagra (sildenafil). It was a cardio-vascular drug first.
Sidenafil when used in this capacity
No the pathophysiology has nothing to due with your pejorative “clot shot”. Sidenafil is a ventilator and acts on the endothelial layer of the pulmonary vasculature causes decrease in diffusion space which in turn increases oxygen as in the case of ARDS.
Sidenafil has been long used in such a capacity, and the erectile dysfunction treatment is actually a by product of what it was originally intended for.
She perked right up.
You can get a Boner Pill, off label use, for the CCP WuHu Flu, as a try anything attempt.
But ya can’t get Horse Paste or RA meds that have been showing promise to provide some therapeutic effect.
What a world.
I can only say two things:
Duh.
and
Doctor might lose his license for violating protocol to save his patient.
