I drove around with a workmate in a Chevy Sonoma last Wednesday for about 20 minutes. We were both masked. He is vaccinated and I am not. He is in his 50’s and obese. He doesn’t smoke and I don’t know if he drinks. I am 60 and smoke about 1/2 pack a day and drink. I am 5’9 and 189.. He tested positive and I went into quarantine last Thursday. I started having the sniffles on Friday. I went for a test on Monday and it came back positive today. Since I was positive, I was sent home from work and took another test to be sure. I suppose I’ll get the results tomorrow. No fever or anything else besides feeling slightly “off”. I still have taste and smell..
I’ve been doing quercetin, D3, zinc, C, melatonin, multi’s, and NAC for over a year. Since my nose started running, I’ve been putting a couple of squirts of 1pct betadine in my nose and gargling with it. I also started the Navage after squirting the betadine in my nose. I think the best thing is to kill it when it’s in your nose. The funniest thing was when I bent over to pull up weeds my nose leaked. Only the left nostril. That’s the only one that leaks. Strange.
Today I’ve had a little congestion which is gone. I started on a Ziverdo course since I had it in case I have the Delta.
I’m not concerned and don’t really have any symptoms since I’m two fingers in because I’m off tomorrow.
I’ll keep up on this in case anything changes.
Good luck!
We’re 68, unvaxxed, and in pretty good health/shape other than hypertension. Hubby works in a restaurant while I’m currently unemployed, yet we’ve never gotten sick since March 2020. I think I got it worse than my husband because I’ve had bronchitis multiple times over the years so my lungs have sustained more damage. I also smoke when I drink which is about 5-6 cigarettes a month.
We’ve been taking vitamins C, D, K and B Complex along with quercetin, zinc, calcium, CoQ 10, and biotin for over a year. About 3 months ago I added turmeric, nigella sativa, NAC, alpha lipoic acid, lysine, magnesium, pantothenic acid and melatonin. After we got sick, we added ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. I’m pretty sure I’d be a lot sicker if I wasn’t taking the above.
On December 8 it began with a massive headache, mild fever, then coughing, then congestion in sinus, then in lungs. All in slow motion, it took all of four weeks to become symptom free. Vaccinated with Phizer in March. My supplement regime: 10K IU D3, K2, magnesium, B complex (I was limiting animal protein), boron, quercetin, zinc, C. 70 YO.
Got the fixings for
White Russians,
Bring on the Wuhan!
I bought a bottle of 10pct betadine and cut it by ten into a dropper bottle. So 1pct drops into the nose followed by the navage. I’m trying to kill it where it grows.
Thank you but he’s given me crap before.
That might explain how we caught it. We’re out of our BP meds (losartan/HTCZ and amlodipine) because Walgreen’s effed up the refills. The timing of that corresponds with when we got Covid after all these months.
“... quercetin, D3, zinc, C, melatonin, multi’s, and NAC ...”
You’ve got the right regimen. Keep drinking plenty of liquids and plan on having to get a lot of rest. You should be fine. You’re doing it all right.
Wow, that is one heck of a list of supplements. Must take you forever to get all those sorted out and ingested!
I’m on B12, C, D3, Melatonin, NAC, Quercetin, and Zinc. Ivermectin and Doxycycline are on stand-by if I get sick.
Thank you. I’ll keep this post up to date.
If it was two years ago it might be mildly interesting but right now it just looks like someone needs some attention.
Yes I really care what meds you are taking for blood pressure. How’s the headache and the arthritis? Is your bursitis acting up?
OK. I think many would be interested. My apologies if I’m wrong.
I confess that I LOVE hearing people like you who take responsibility for your own health. The zinc and quercetin and ivermectin are the key to getting through this thing, along with the other supplements. Yeah!
That’s new to me. Let me look into it.
2nd time lasted 2 days.
3rd time lasted 1 day.
4th time I am just now getting over. It has been worse than the 2nd and 3rd, but not nearly so bad as the first time.
Didn't have a cough the first three times. This one has given me a cough, but it is slowly going away.
Chills and fever occurred at different stages with each iteration i've had. Sometimes they lasted for days, and sometimes they lasted for a few hours.
The virus mutates fast and variations can reinfect you. Some versions of it are worse than others.
How bad you react to it will depend on your genetics, your health and which flavor of the bug you have picked up. I think your preventative treatments will help you a lot, and may stave off the worst of it.
Just received word last week that a good friend of mine has died from it. He was considerably older than me, and significantly obese. Also in poorer health.
Got word this week that his brother died a few days later. His brother was younger and healthier, but it wasn't enough.
I take 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day but I also take vitamin K. One of my supplements is actually a combo D3/K tablet. The K apparently takes care of the excess calcium from the D, which hopefully protects my kidneys.
