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.

When I lost my taste and smell I had zero appetite. As a result I was not drinking fluids which was a big mistake as I got dehydrated and had a fainting spell.

Once I got hydrated again I improved tremendously. Everyone, drink your water!

I found that, right now, cottage cheese, sherbet low fat ice cream, bar-b-que chips and Lumpia are amongst my favorite foods right now.

It's weird, too, cuz regular potato chips taste terrible, yet bar-b-q chips don't, most sweets taste horrible, yet sherbet doesn't. Shredded Wheat cereal is great, yet Life cereal sucks. Pop Tarts are great, Blueberry and Cinnamon, yet Cherry Pop Tarts suck. Cheese products, for the most part, taste horrible, yet Provolone is ok.

What is setting me back, and you hit on it, is responsibilities and stress. I came back to a mess at the office that HAD to be taken care of when I should have been taking a complete week off work. Then the next two weeks were supposed to half days. That didn't work out well either.

I'm back to about 80-85%, and I get better each week, but things could be better. I just thank God I'm still on this side.
