Glad to know you are already feeling back to normal. Hoping you feel a lot better every day.
I suggest you add Benadryl ( or the genetic equivalent) to your home treatment plan. Take with milk or a milk product as per box directions at the first symptoms. The Benadryl and milk protocol is very new. Just read about it a few weeks ago. Treated my daughter last week when she developed covid symptoms after multiple exposures in her workplace.
Benadryl and hot chocolate over 3 days ( plus other supplements) completely and rapidly knocked down her fatigue, body aches, headache, fever, and GI issues. I was really surprised. I think somehow the Benadryl milk synergy is stopping the immune reaction from going hyper, like cytokine storm. And that immune reaction is causing a lot of the symptoms.
I have been reading a lot of similar good reports.
This is a treatment suggestion. Not a preventive.
Fluvoxamine is also a strong anti-inflammatory that suppresses cytokines.
That is likely why it helps with COVID, rarhter than the SSRI activity.
Some over the counter meds that have anti-inflammatory and antihistamine effects, like Pepcid (given to President Trump for his COVID infection) and Zyrtec have also been shown to improve COVID outcomes.
And Benadryl or the generic ... see my post above
Taking it with milk seems to add to the effects
RE: My Endocrinologist prescribed Vitamin D 50,000 IU, once a week.
Hey, welcome to the club I take Vitamin D every Monday of the week. Do you do the same?
I had heard of Benadryl use, but I need to see further exactly what it's doing so that it doesn't conflict with or duplicate something that I'm already doing.

Mine's on Friday. That's just how the schedule worked out after I got the first script. Been on it for many years.
While it seems promising, it looks like it duplicates the goal of Zinc and Quercetin in that it blocks the replication of the COVID-19 virus in the targeted cell.
My concern about taking Benadryl is that I am taking Quercetin and Zinc as a prophylactic; I'm not waiting to confirm having COVID-19 before taking it. Quercetin is plant-based, mostly from onions and green leafy plants. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine medication.
If I wait until I know I have COVID-19 to take the Benadryl therapy, then the virus will have been in my body for days before I begin the treatment. If I take it as a preventative, I risk building up a resistance to Benadryl when I need it for allergies and other uses.
For now, I will continue with the natural, non-medicine preventative therapy of Quercetin and Zinc to prevent the replication of the COVID-19 virus in my body.
Thanks for suggesting it to me. It might be an appropriate therapy for others, but not for me given the rest of my regimen.

Thanks. I have other necessary items, but I don’t have one of those yet. I have something for inhaling steam (an old European remedy), but it says not to put anything else into it. I will look for a nebulizer.
Benadryl is reported to reduce viral replication by about a third.
A doctor named Ostrov in Florida tried combining it with the milk extract lactoferrin (also reported to reduce viral replication by about a third).
He said that the combination produced a 99% reduction.
I have not heard of anyone replicating his results.
Some folks with bad allergies take Benadryl routinely, and others use it routinely as a sleeping pill, but I have heard that long term chronic use is associated with an increased risk of developing dementia.
It is generally recognized as safe, but for myself, I only plan to use it for treatment (along with lactoferrin, an OTC food supplement), not prevention.

Few drops of iodine too
Benadryl and Lactoferrin/Colustrum is the study. Diphenhydramine alone knocks the virus replication back 30%. It is just a study, they don’t know if it works in humans.

.
Lactoferrin can be purchased as an OTC supplement but from the growing anecdotal reports I am reading plus my personal experience, regular warm milk or even a milk product taken with Benadryl seems to be really knocking down the immune reaction ( histamines) that flood the body when the virus is contracted. It is not an antiviral like zinc and Quercetin, it is a treatment to help people suffering or facing the equivalent of a serious allergic reaction to the covid agent.
It’s been reported that what killed many during the Spanish flu pandemic was not the virus, but the body’s own overstimulated immune system aka cytokine storm.
Offered fwiw. Everyone has access to milk and most people have Benadryl or generic version onhand.
Thank you very much
