I just got over it myself. I am doubly vaxxed but not boosted, and refuse to get the boosters. Let me have CoVid every few months before I’ll have another fake vaccine.
I take a slew of vitamins and supplements. We take quercetin, zinc, D3, C, K2, selenium, turmeric, lysine, NAC, melatonin (at night), and a multi vitamin every day since April 2020.
I upped the doses of lysine, quercetin, zinc, D3, and C. Our very scaredy-cat kids absolutely insisted that we take Paxlovid, so our doctor wrote a script for that (husband was exposed on a work trip, then I was exposed once he came home). The Paxlovid leaves a very bitter, metallic type taste in your mouth. To overcome that, we sucked on hard candies, or sometimes had chips or sweet things as snacks. We never eat that stuff, but out of desperation to rid ourselves of the taste, we did this time.
My fever never got higher than 101.7 and broke within 36 hours of discovering I was positive. We took Theraflu nighttime syrup at bedtime. After the first two sleepless nights, we were both fine. I got 70% of my energy back by day 3, and all of it by day 5. I haven’t had symptoms since Sunday (day 4) other than the energy thing, which was back completely by Monday. I tested positive a week ago today.
We ate simple meals when I didn’t feel like cooking. I usually have stuff in the freezer so sometimes reheated a casserole or had soup and sandwiches for dinner. It was nothing more than a head cold for either of us. It’s hard to believe they’ve made everyone so freaking scared of this thing. It’s an annoying brat in my eyes.
Oh, yeah, I did take 2 Advil one day when I had a headache. That must’ve been the first or second day. I use budesonide nasal spray at night every night, even when I wasn’t sick with CoVid, but I think it helped the stuffy nose aspect. I drink a decent amount of water usually, so kept that up (at least 32 oz every day). Also I’m a junkie for freshly squeezed orange juice, and luckily I had just purchased some from our grocery store before I got sick. Had a glass or two of that first thing every morning. Sure tasted great! Basically, we just rested when we felt like it, and played cards, read, or did quiet hobbies. We had our windows open for fresh air, and went outside and just sat and listened to birds several times each day. I was BORED by the third day and anxious to start working out in my yard again, which is where I spend a lot of my time once it became real Spring here. For the record, I’m 62, on no meds except for OTC allergy stuff and restless legs medicine. I’m at normal weight and BMI for my height. Good luck!
