I got it to and it took almost five weeks to be back at 100%.

I was already taking multi-vitamin, 500mg C, and 2000 D3.

I had NO HCQ or Ivermectin. About 2 1/2 weeks into it, I also added 500mg more C plus Quercetin, plus 30 more Zinc on top of the 15 from the multi.

I never had trouble with breathing.

The two symptoms that hit me hard were fatigue and no appetite.

I dropped down to 125 lbs. from around 134 at that time.

My SOLUTION: Eat all the best tasting foods you like that are not necessarily good for you. I ate...

Ice Cream
Breaded Coconut shrimp
Cheddar Cheese with saltines
Warm beverages like decaf coffee and maybe bullion and water with a little flavor in it.

I started packing pounds like crazy.

Today, I’m totally back and resistance/weight training three times a week plus three 6 mile runs a week or on treadmill at similar speed.

The big thing you MUST do is REST and forget about most responsibilities. Stress can really kill you.

I still dream of those ice cream, cheese, candy bar days fondly now. Makes me hungry now that I think of it, but I’m back securely on a good protein, good fat, low-sodium, low LDL diet.

It was like a brief fling with that exciting passionate woman, but then back to the one that really cares about you.

:-)

Wow. My wife who works at a nursing home finally brought it home to the rest of us. I already had everything for the Zelenko/FLCCC protocol but got her the monoclonal infusion because she qualified and it was readily available here in rural MO. I did the full protocol including horse paste and she did everything but the Ivermectin and the kids, 18 & 20 got nothing.

Mild flu for wife and I and mild cold for the kids. Went through the four of us in 3-4 weeks, overlapping. Wife and I were near done by the time the kids were affected. Been good ever since.

Glad you are better! What a long haul! Hope you continue to improve.

My taste comes and goes and some types of foods are tasteless still. Seems to be connected to sinuses. Had COVID the whole month of January.

Well done! Glad you’re improving.

I didn’t get the shot- I work in a hospital and was a day away from getting terminated when they accepted my exemption.

Two years, exposed constantly and didn’t get it until 2 weeks ago. Go figure. I’ve taken D3K2, C, zinc since 2020. When I tested positive I started taking NAC (Thorne supplements) 2x daily and I began feeling better within 24 hours. Lots of water and pedialyte. Lost taste/smell for 7 days..gradually came back. I don’t have the lung capacity that I did before covid, but am continuing with NAC for now, and breathing exercises.

It’s funny- the people in my office that got really sick from covid had all been vaxed- unvaxed had mild cases.

It’s a weird virus- we all seem to have different reactions.

I hope your recovery is smooth and you get stronger each day. God bless...

I tested positive to COVID last week and while not as bad as what you had it (I managed to avoid needing hospital by the slimmest of margins) it has been the pits. The fatigue, the breathlessness, the headaches, the loss of smell and taste... It’s not the worst illness I’ve had but it’s the worst for the sheer misery.

I’m glad you made it through and hope you get back to 100% soon enough.

Glad you’re still among us!

I tested positive for Covid on January 7th and it took me a good six weeks to feel relatively normal again. I had it in March 2020 as well, long before testing or meds were available, and it took me six weeks to recover from that episode.

In between the two episodes I had started all the recommended vitamins & supplements, including ivermectin & hydroxychloroquine. So I was surprised that I got it again after 22 months, although it didn’t progress to pneumonia or worse. I’m very thankful for that, especially since my brother and brother-in-law both died from Covid & pneumonia in January. 😢

Glad to hear you beat it. It’s a life altering virus for some. My wife and I had it last Feb. We both felt like we stayed up all night for about 10 days. I lost my sense of smell. My wife lost her taste. To this day she has a hard time with things tasting bad. I will tell her about cottage cheese. Any other things that taste good let us know. We just did a watermelon cleanse and she could taste things for a few days but it’s fleeting. She is saying she may do it a few days out of the month to see if it brings her taste back. It’s pretty simple. Eat nothing but watermelon for 3 days. It resets your body. Supposedly. Happy wife and happy life. Lol.

Also my wife wanted me to ask if you could taste sweets. She can eat sweets but they don’t taste as sweet as they do for others. But she can taste it. Hot foods she used to like now totally burn her mouth.

Glad you beat it! Did you get to the bad Shortness of Breath / Low O2 stage?

Glad you were able to hunker through the Wuhan Bat Soup Special, ducttape45. Hang in there; it sounds like the worst is over.

Happy you beat it of course.

The usual battles are still going on with no signs of victory.

My wife and I both had the crud but managed it at home fortunately. Worse than a cold less than the flu for us.

Good to hear you’re on the mend DT. At least you have the best kind of immunity, even if it was “the hard way”. Hope you’re back to 100% quickly.

In your absence I’ve made sure that nothing exciting has happened in the world. Well ... I might have slipped up a little ... Feel better soon! (Somehow I got lucky and was only down for a couple of days with it - strange how it hits different people differently).
