I see, that makes sense. I have restless legs syndrome, and the only prescription medicine I take is for that condition. I take it at night about 30 minutes before I am ready for bed. It doesn’t make me drowsy per se, but does help me relax enough to get to sleep. It works for me, thank goodness. I’ve also got a weighted blanket that my son gave me for Christmas, and it helps a ton. In a way, it almost feels like I’m being hugged on my legs. It keeps me from tossing and turning during the night, too. I hope that when it warms up, I’ll still feel like using it.

Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc, and you should consider a pulse oximeter if you get it, because there are reports of it damaging the brain center responsible for respiration, meaning your oxygen can plummet but you don’t know, or feel it, or increase your breathing rate to compensate. That is why people were walking along in China, and suddenly went lights out.

I mean, the oximeter is mostly useless for most, I’d say go to the doctor if you need to, but I just add it since you seem to be talking about jury-rigging your own ventilator out of a CPAP, an oxygen concentrator, and some tubing as the whole system comes down and everybody else dies.

Truth be told, the way things are going, I’m kind of wishing I had a CPAP.

Stay safe.

I have humidifiers and air purifiers, but no oxygenating machines. I live less than a half mile from a pretty sizable hospital so I’ll go there if breathing gets difficult.

I swear I have a mild case of the virus. The symptoms change every day and go away. One day I’m sweating through my pajamas. The next day I have whole body chills. The next day my chest feels tight. I always wake up feeling good though so I’m not too worried.

You stay safe too, my FRiend.
