Where did YOU get HCQ, and what vitamins do you take?

I got a 5 day supply of hydroxychloroquine from
https://speakwithanmd.com/corsination/
and the azithromycin.

They don't guarantee you'll get it and you pay $60.
I told them I wanted it as a prophylactic and that I may have been exposed. They write a prescription which you can get filled at the pharmacy of your choice. I noticed that they used out of state doctors.
I wanted to get Ivermectin later but wasted $60 dollars. They wouldn't give it to me.
Ivermectin is not as commonly know to help as HCQ, but it is now part of Zr Zev’s protocol for high risk patients (over 60)

As far as vitamins, I started taking AREDS 2 with vitamins for my eyes, and because of covid I take extra Vitamin C and D. I'm low on D anyway according to Doctor. I really haven't set a dose schedule on the extra vitamins. I think Dr Zev recommends Vitamin C too. There's a lot of other doctors who also recommend HCQ and have slightly different protocols.

Wow. Sounds like you have long term problems from it. I wonder if it is mutating to a less virulent form now.

My daughter and her family had something in early January after substitute teaching for a week after Christmas holidays.
She had a 105 and was aching all over, but she was mostly done with it in 2 days.
Husband got sick followed by the kids but theirs were very mild.

I take statins and my muscles ache all the time. I wouldn't know if I had the flu, Wuhan Virus, or having the normal aches associated with the statins. Back in December my girlfriend got a virus that was being passed around in the Nashville airport and she was almost to the point of being hospitalized with pneumonia and was put on a Z Pack and some Pred and recovered. I believe she and her coworkers at BNA had the virus as far back as late December.

I know someone died because of Whu Flu ....But didn’t have it.

SHE AS TO AFRAID TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL CUZ OF COVID.

She had stomach pain for days but didn’t want to get it checked out. Finally her family forced her to go to the hospital. She had of bad case of pancreatitis and has dead in 48 hrs.

Her and her husband had been my parents’ best friends for almost 50 years. It was like losing a favorite aunt.

They wanted to put my husband on statins. His cholesterol is always low and he has the right amount of good cholesterol. The doctor said he wanted to put everyone on statins and Prozac.

I’ve had high cholesterol for a long time, but I don’t want to start taking statins. I already take two types of hypertension medicines. Maybe all my prophylactic covid drugs will help.

Probably a lot of cases like this. You couldn’t even see a doctor during the worse of covid unless an emergency.

I am in the Philly suburb area. Do not know of anyone personally who has had it confirmed. Have heard anecdotally
of many cases and some deaths in nursing homes/retirement communities because of the circumstances of my job (I help with seniors who are relocating to new homes).

Know of two deaths of friends of friends (one in PA, one in Colorado)

My mother-in-law passed away in a personal care facility in late April, not directly COVID related, but failure to thrive/depression most likely brought on by no one being allowed to visit and she did not understand why. Thought we abandoned her in a “home”. We did have paid aides with her 20 hours a day, but it’s not the same as family.

I also think that this ran through our family in mid February. Grand-kids both mildly sick with coughs, sniffles, lethargy and high fevers for a day or two. Daughter very sick with dry cough, fever, chills and aches (she went to urgent care, negative X-ray for pneumonia or infection). Her fever spiked at 104. After about 3 days she was fine, no lasting problems.

Her husband had mild symptoms, my husband nothing (he is ex-military and has been vaccinated against just about everything known).

I had 2 days of terrible dry coughing, headache and lethargy — left work early (which I never do) & slept for about 20 hours with only a few breaks to drink water. Never had a noticeable fever, but just wiped out. Using an inhaler helped a lot.

A coworker got it.

She is particularly vulnerable, so she and her husband have been completely isolated since this thing started. But she somehow caught it at home. She said no one has been to the house and no one from the house has left it.

She described it as a pretty rough bout of the flu.

I take Ubiquinol for my muscle aches. I am told it helps with the aches caused by statin drugs. It’s also good for your heart. You can get it at most grocery stores.

My cousin, who lives south of Jacksonville, FL, had it. Didn’t know he had it, but was sick. Thought he had a pretty intense case of the flu. After about 8 or 9 days, he got tested and found out he did have Covid. Now, by the time he got tested, he was already starting to feel better. He drove himself (and his wife) to the testing facility, so he wasn’t doing too terribly bad.

This happened in, I think, late March or Early April. He’s since fully recovered. He’s in his mid 60s.

More people are dying and will die of delayed care and tests than of the Wuhan virus. Everyone not getting cancer screenings and necessary surgeries come to mind.

“She is particularly vulnerable, so she and her husband have been completely isolated since this thing started. But she somehow caught it at home. She said no one has been to the house and no one from the house has left it.”

That's interesting. I guess she did have things delivered though.

Proves masks and lockdowns are ineffective. Actually, I think gloves may be more effective when handling things like gas pumps, etc.
