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.....
Yes, I got covid in December 2020, got tested, and just stayed home for 10 days. To be honest I got stir crazy after 7 days and went outside for a stroll because it was really beautiful weather for early December.
At the time I was 26. Young, fit, healthy female. Also at that time I didn't know about ivermectin, and finding HCQ was impossible, so this is how I got better:
Rested. A LOT. I either slept a lot more, took naps, or just lazed on the couch all day watching movies or reading. The only time I did any kind of activity was when I went for a walk after 7 days of going crazy inside.
Drank LOTS of water, ginger ale, but especially tea with honey. I found out that cold drinks aggravated my coughing, but warm drinks with honey soothed my aching chest and scratchy throat.
Ate as much as I could stomach. When I get sick I always lose my appetite, and that happened with covid too, but I forced myself to eat even if I didn't feel hungry. I ate 3 meals a day, mostly homemade chicken and barley soup (got real sick of that after a while) and that kept my strength up and helped my body fight the illness. No, I didn't lose my sense of taste or smell, everything was normal.
Took a lot of anti-inflammatory medicines to help with my insanely congested nose. I could barely breathe through my nose, but ibuprofen helped ease it a bit. I didn't have the right kind of medicine with me at the time so I had to settle for that.
Took a lot of cough drops, helped soothe my coughs. My coughing was more ticklish and itchy in my throat, and I produced no mucus, it was dry. As someone with asthma I was surprised my breathing wasn't affected at all. Other than occasional coughs and my stuffy nose I could breathe normally.
And that's it. That's all I did. It DID take me about 14 days to fully recover, but I was feeling almost completely normal by about 7 or 8 days, so much so that I actually started working on some digital art I hadn't finished. I was pretty productive.
If I'd had better medicine, like for congestion, I probably would have recovered faster. It would have been even better with ivermectin or HCQ but both of those were not available to me.
