Okay, finally got Covid, may have had it previously. But this time, temperature is 104-105, sore throat, congestion, cough, achy joints, etc.

I have not received any of the experimental Covid vaccines, but am current on all other medically recommened and approved shots. I am 62, technically obese, and have a bad history with H1N1 vaccine in 2010. In that, I ended up in the hospital for a week, diagnosed then and later with an enlarged heart and irregular heartbeat.

Doctor is currently offering choice of Paxlovid or Sotrovimab monoclonal treatment, plus ibuprofen.

Anyone got thoughts and history with these two approaches? Or, something else to do?

Thanks!

I had it twice. The biggest thing are lungs. If the cough is mild u should good.

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but being in a somewhat simliar situation as you I just rode it out with ibuprofen when needed and I did not stop doing what I was doing. Vitamin D helped a lot in my situation.

I had it several times.

I think the truth is your guess is as good as anyone’s.

I’ll meditate on a few affirmations for you, today. Hope you’re well real soon.

[DannyTN]

Prayer up, good luck.
Can’t speak to the pros and cons of either option.

I got it last Thursday. Dr prescribed Paxlovid and I did ok on it. I'm 63, obese, with some heart issues. I had a slight temp at times but mostly heavy congestion. Friday and Sat were tough. But since then I m better. My wife has it now. She does not have as bad of symptoms I had. Hers is mostly body aches and headache. During the worst part I was ok in the mornings and hit a wall in the afternoon and night. Still have a cough but I'm fine now.
Best of luck, You should be fine.

Don’t worry!

Drink alot of water
take vitamin C, Vit D3
Drink Kefir (liquid yogurt)
take ivermectin

More than anything, if you’re a believer, when you received salvation that includes healing. Trust that truth and stand on it!

We fare well with a diffuser. Improves breathing. We use Eucalyptus and Peppermint Oils. It’s like a humidifier but designed for vaporizing the oils.

We also got the Ivermectin in the horse syringe. $9

I thought Sotrovimab was useless for Omicron?

[rockinqsranch]

I had Covid in March. I also have a heart condition, Only one functioning lung, Kidney Stones, and stage four cancer of which I’m getting Chemo every 3 weeks. Seems the Chemo is working in my favor at this time.

I had 103 F temperature when I arrived at the hospital, and was put under quarantine immediately. They gave me Remevi...whatever that stuff that D.J. Trump took. I Figured if he was still upright it must be OK. They kept me two weeks, and said “good ‘nuff”.

I start with a iodine nasal rinse and gargling today.

I just got the mab treatment on Saturday for covid.

My two cents is to accept the offer for the mab. It sounds like with your history you could benefit and stop covid from becoming too severe.

Best of luck to you. Prayers up.

My mom’s nurse had it. She’s an RN. Said it is important to keep moving so pneumonia doesn’t set in.

Not a doc here...add zinc (no more than 50mg) and quercitin to other suggestions...I would also check out the monoclonal situation...just in case...better to be prepared, oh and make sure you have someone who can legally and competently speak for you in any medical situation.

i just finished a round of PaxLovid. Other than a metallic aftertaste that was quite strong for several hours after taking each dose, it had no ill effects on me. I had Covid symptoms for 3 or 4 days, not too severe, and made a full recovery. If you want to take something, i took PaxLovid. It was effective.

[silverleaf]

Take the monoclonals!

Paxlovid is leading to a high rate of rebound infection after the course is completed. Plus it has a host of serious side effects and contraindications and was rushed into the market with very very little testing

Try to defeat the inflammation before it progresses to your lungs or causes a cytokine storm ….otc use of benadryl and antacids has helped lots, anecdotally. Look up the covidcare19 suggested protocols

A frontline telemed could decide if ivermectn or HCQ could help.

Damn dude. Hang in there!

What day did your first symptoms appear?

I am in the midst of being infected with covid. First symptoms occured May 25th.

I hit it hard with ivermectin, vitamin d-3, and Dr Zelenko’s z-stack. In recent days I have added tylenol and motrin. Generally, I feel I am getting better each day.

Tylenol and motrin will help with your fever.

monoclonal antibody should be a good choice.

I hopes this helps.

When is it not Covid but just the common cold?

In my case it is not a common cold when the body aches become body pains.
