I got covid at a party on July 3rd (Im fairly positive I got it through shedding) and was starting to get flu like symptoms by the time I went to bed that night. July 4th, I was in bed all day with flu symptoms, and had a temp that got as high as 103. I broke the fever that night and on the 5th was starting to feel better and my flu symtoms turned into a bad cold that really set into my sinuses and kept trying to set into my chest, that lasted for a couple of weeks.
Now, did I go out and get some bullshit PCR test as soon as I knew I was getting sick? Of course not, I treated my sickness like I have countless other times before, with common sense. I didnt call the "frontline doctors" or run to Tractor Supply and buy up all the horse paste, I let my body fight it naturally.
Im 48 years old and I take fairly good care of myself. I exercise and watch what I put into my body as far as diet and I quit drinking alcohol. I got pretty sick, but I have been sicker and I knew that this so called "covid" wasnt anything life threatening. How do I know it was covid if I didnt get "tested"? I lost my sense of taste and smell and just recently got both of them back.
Like I said earlier, I used common sense when I was sick and that seems to have gotten lost in all of this covid nonsense. I isolated myself, I put good nutritious meals into me, drank orange juice and stayed hydrated and let my immune system do its job, pretty simple.
It blows my mind how people have no clue on how their body works or functions and will go out and eat shit like horse paste or load up on Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquin (which are still petrochemicals) instead of looking into how to change their diet and stop eating fast food all the time or cutting back on booze and drinking more water or something as simple as getting outside in the sun for some vitamin D.
Im done dealing with retards and Im probably gonna get some shit over this post but I dont care. If people would just take better care of themselves we wouldnt be in this mess we are in.....
I might of had it at the end of July. I’m not sure. I don’t even really believe it exists but who knows.
Anyway, I had an appointment that was inside a hospital on a Tuesday. That following Friday I was at work when I suddenly felt like I had ran a marathon or something. Total body aches and an overwhelming worn out sensation. By the time I got back to my house I was freezing cold and nothing could warm me back up. The chills were unreal. I woke up the following morning feeling like I might have been developing a cold. It ended up being a harsh cough and everything tasted bad. Not a loss of taste but just a gross flavor that I couldn’t get out of my mouth. And I was ridiculously fatigued the entire time. The whole week passed by in a blur because I basically slept through it. Then I got over it and was fine. I never got tested or anything.
I’m not the healthiest person. I’m overweight and low on vitamin d (recently started taking a supplement though.) I never get sick. I haven’t had the flu since I was a little kid and it’s been at least five years since my last cold or anything like that. I’ve always refused the flu shots. I’m pretty sure my immune system works like it’s suppose to and I definitely trust it.
Is there an at home antibody test you can get? I’m interested in knowing if I would test positive for the antibodies but not interested enough to take a test in a clinic or anything like that. I also believe my boyfriend had “it” in early February of 2019 following a trip to Chicago. The company he works for closed the office down for covid just after he had gotten home from that trip. I didn’t end up catching whatever it was that he had.
To answer the antibody test question, yes. Abbott makes one, they sell it at Walgreens, CVS and Rite-Aid by me... like $22 for 2 tests.
That's how I knew I got it... I suspected I had it b/c of the headache and loss of taste/smell. Unlike the horrorific reports on the boob tube, it was all back to normal in 4-5 days with C, D, Zinc and a few gin and tonics (my standard "I got a cold" protocol minus the sudafed).
