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’m been on the D3, C, Quercetin, Melatonin, Zinc, and NAC regimen since April 2020. I believe the NAC has helped my pulmonary function and reduced allergies to boot. My sinuses are more clear and its easier to get phlegm out of the lungs.

I used to get one to two colds per year and one of them would always progress to bronchitis which sometimes got really bad and usually took twelve weeks to cure. Since starting the regimen, nothing!

I also use a povidone-iodine gargle (Betadine) and nasal spray (Immunimist) at the first sign of a sore throat. Sore throats were always a reliable indicator that I was getting a cold.

I got vaxxed (Moderna) and one booster (Moderna). No COVID so far.

It sounds like you have good resistance, but, Omicron is so highly infectious that between that and maybe a few “random” unusually high exposures in a short period, it beat your defenses, where earlier strains did not.

As a side note, our area (in mid-South USA) has low and dropping COVID cases now, but there sure seem to be plenty of “other” respiratory diseases running around, per local TV health reports. My wife has one right now, has had it 5 days. Tested neg. for COVID this evening (rapid test), but does not seem to be flu or strep. Coughs a lot, but multi-symptom cold medicine helps. 02 running 98% (usual reading for her on our oximeter), no feeling of lung congestion. Still, I’m gonna convince her to let me take her to a walk in clinic if not better tomorrow.
